[00:44.925]The snows they melt the soonest when the winds begin to sing
[00:55.674]And the corn it ripens faster when the frosts are settlin' in
[01:01.947]And when a woman tells me that my face she'll soon forget
[01:07.631]Before we part I'll wage a corn she's fain to follow it yet
[01:17.876]For the snows they melt the soonest when the winds begin to sing
[01:27.775]And the swallow flies without a thought as long as it is spring
[01:34.199]But when spring goes and winter blows my love she'll be fain
[01:39.965]For all her pride to follow me across the stormy main
[02:22.078]The snows they melt the soonest when the winds begin to sing
[02:32.053]And the bee that flew when summer shone in winter cannot sting
[02:38.862]And I've seen a woman's anger melt between the night and morn
[02:44.626]So it's surely not a harder thing to melt a woman's scorn
[02:54.546]So don't you bid me farewell now, no farewell I'll receive
[03:04.556]But you must lie with me my lass then kiss and take your leave
[03:11.356]And I'll wait here 'til the woodcock calls and the martin takes the wing
[03:17.001]For the snows they melt the soonest when the winds begin to sing
