| lyric | My hat is frozen to my head,
My body is like a lump of lead,
My shoes are frozen to my feet
from stinding at your window.
Let me come in the soldier cried, Cold blow and the rainy night,
Let me come in the soldier cried, I’ll never come back again, oh. no.
My father's workin' down the street,
My mother the bedroom keys does keep,
My door and windows all do creek I cannot let you in.
Let me come in the soldier cried, cold blow and the rainy night
Let me come in the soldier cried and I'll never come back again.
Then she came down and let him in
And kissed his ruby lips and chin
Then went back to bed again and the soldier he won her favour.
Then she blessed the rainy night, cold blow and the rainy night
Then she blessed the rainy night, that ever she let him in at all.
Now you've had your way with me
Soldier won't you marry me?
No my love that never be, so fare thee well for ever.
Then she cursed the rainy night, cold blow and the rainy night
Then she cursed the rainy night, that ever she let him in at all.
Then he jumped up and out of bed
And put on his hat upon his head
She had lost her maiden head and the money had heard the jingle |
