The January Man

Lyrics

The January Man he walks the road in woolen coat and boots of leather The February man still shakes the snow from off his head and blows his hands The man of March he sees the Spring and wonders what the year will bring And hopes for better weather Through April rain the man goes down to watch the birds come in to share the summer The man of May stands very still, watching the children dance away the day In June the man inside the man is young and wants to lend a hand And grins at each newcomеr And in July the man in cotton shirt he sits and thinks on being idlе The August man in thousands takes the road to watch the sea and find the sun September man is standing near to saddle up and leave the year And Autumn is his bridle The man of new October takes the reins and early frost is on his shoulder The poor November man sees fire and rain and mist and wind and bitter gales December man looks through the snow to let eleven brothers know They're all a little older And the January Man comes round again in woolen coat and boots of leather To take another turn and walk along the icy road he knows so well The January man is here for starting each and every year Along the road forever
