The Snows They Melt The Soonest

The snows they melt the soonest when the winds begin to sing
And the corn it ripens fastest as the frosts are settling in
And when a young man tells me that my face hell soon forget
Before we part Ill wage a bet hell be fain to follow it yet
The snows they melt the soonest when the winds begin to sing
And the swallow flies without a thought as long as it is spring
When springtime goes and winter blows , my lad, and youll be fain
With all your pride to follow me across the stormy main
The snows they melt the soonest when the winds begin to sing
And the bee that flew in summertime in winter it will not sting
Ive seen a womans anger melt between the night and morn
Its surely not a harder thing to melt a womans scorn
So never bid me farewell for no farewell Ill receive
You will lie with me, my love, and kiss and take your leave
And Ill wait here till the woodcock calls and the marten takes its wing
For the snows they melt the soonest when the winds begin to sing
