The Snows They Melt The Soonest Lyrics

The snow it melts the soonest when the winds begin to sing

And the corn it ripens fastest when the frost is setting in

And when the young man tells me that my face he'll soon forget

Before we part I bet a crown, he'd be fain to follow it yet



And the snow it melts the soonest when the winds begin to sing

And the swallow skims without a thought as long as it is spring

But when spring blows and winter goes my love then you'll be free

With all your pride and to follow me where it crossed the stormy sea



And the snows they melt the soonest when the 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 they may be.

And the snow it melts the soonest when my true love's for me.



So whoever says to me farewell here, no farewell I receive,

For you will leave me at your side, or you kiss and take your leave

And I'll wait here 'til the moorcock calls and the Martin takes his leave

For the snow it melts the soonest when the winds begin to sing.
