Oh, the snow, it melts the soonest when the winds begin to sing
And the corn, it ripens fastest when the frosts are setting in
And when a young man tells me that me face he'll soon forget
Before we part I'd better crown he'd be fain to follow it [G] yet
Oh, the snow, it melts the soonest when the winds begin to sing
And the swallow skins without a thought as long as [Eb] it is spring
But when spring blows and winter goes me lad and you be fain
With all your pride for to follow me were it cross the stormy main
Oh, the snow, it melts the soonest when the [G] winds begin to sing
And the bee that flew when summer shone in winter he won't sing
And all the flowers in all the land so brightly there they be
[Em] And the snow, it melts the soonest when [N] my true love's for me
[Gm]
So never say me farewell here no [G] farewell I'll receive
You can meet me at the stile you'll kiss and take your leave
And I'll wait here till the woodcock crows or the marten takes his leave
Since the snow, it melts the soonest when the winds begin to sing
And the corn, it ripens fastest when the frosts are setting in
And when a young man tells me that me face he'll soon forget
Before we part I'd better crown he'd be fain to follow it [G] yet
Oh, the snow, it melts the soonest when the winds begin to sing
And the swallow skins without a thought as long as [Eb] it is spring
But when spring blows and winter goes me lad and you be fain
With all your pride for to follow me were it cross the stormy main
Oh, the snow, it melts the soonest when the [G] winds begin to sing
And the bee that flew when summer shone in winter he won't sing
And all the flowers in all the land so brightly there they be
[Em] And the snow, it melts the soonest when [N] my true love's for me
[Gm]
So never say me farewell here no [G] farewell I'll receive
You can meet me at the stile you'll kiss and take your leave
And I'll wait here till the woodcock crows or the marten takes his leave
Since the snow, it melts the soonest when the winds begin to sing
