The Snow It Melts The Soonest Lyrics

Ranagri The Snow It Melts The Soonest

Oh the snow it melts the soonest when the wind begin to sing
And the corn it ripens fastest when the frosts are setting in
And when a woman tells me that my face she'll soon forget
Before we part, I'll wage a crown, she's fain to follow't yet

The snow it melts the soonest when the wind begins to sing
And the swallow skims without a thought as long as it is spring
But when spring goes, and winter blows, my lass, an ye'll be fain
For all your pride, to follow me, were't cross the stormy main

Oh the snow it melts the soonest when the wind begins to sing
Oh The bee that flew when summer shined, in winter cannot sting
I've seen a woman's anger melt between the night and morn
And it's surely not a harder thing to tame a woman's scorn

Oh never say me farewell here, no farewell I'll receive
For you shall set me to the stile and kiss and take your leave
But I'll stay here till the woodcock comes
And the martlet takes his wing
Since the snow it melts the soonest lass
When the wind begins to sing
