Songtext von The Snows They Melt The Soonest

The snows, they melt the soonest when the winds begin to sing The corn, it ripens fastest as the frosts are settling in And when a young man tells me that my face he'll soon forget Before we part, I'll wage a bet he'll be fain to follow it yet The snows, they melt the soonest when the winds begin to sing The swallow flies without a thought as long as it is spring When springtime goes and winter blows, my lad, and you'll 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 The bee that flew in summertime, in winter it will not sting Seen a woman's anger melt between the night and morn It's surely not a harder thing to melt a woman's scorn So never bid me farewell, for no farewell I'll receive You will lie with me, my love, and kiss and take your leave I'll wait here 'til the woodcock calls, and the marten takes its wing For the snows, they melt the soonest when the winds begin to sing 1
