Cold Haily Windy Night

Lyrics

Oh, my hat, it is frozen to my head
 Feet, they are like a lump of lead
 Oh, my shoes, they are frozen to my feet
 With standing at your window
 "Let me in", the soldier cried
 "Cold, haily, windy night, oh"
 "Let me in", the soldier cried
 "For I'll not go back again, no"
 My father watches down on the street
 Mother, the chamber keys do keep
 Oh the doors and windows, they do creek
 I dare not let you in, no
 "Let me in", the soldier cried
 "Cold, haily, windy night, oh"
 "Let me in", the soldier cried
 "For I'll not go back again, no"
 Oh, and she's rose up and she's let him in
 She's kissed her true love cheek and chin
 And she's drawn him between the sheets again
 She's opened and she's let him in, oh
 Then she has blessed the rainy night
 Cold, haily, windy night, oh
 Oh, then she has blessed the rainy night
 That she's opened and she let him in, oh
 "Soldier, soldier, stay with me
 Soldier, soldier, won't you marry me oh?"
 "No, no, no it never can be
 So fare thee well forever"
 And then she has wept for the rainy night
 Cold, haily, windy night, oh
 Then she has wept for the rainy night
 That she's opened and she's let him in, oh
 Oh and he's jumped up all out of the bed
 He's put his hat all on his head
 Oh but she had lost her maiden head
 Her mother, she heard the din, oh
 And then she has cursed the rainy night
 Cold haily, windy night, oh
 Then she has cursed the rainy night
 That she opened and she let him in, oh
 And then she has cursed the rainy night
 Cold haily, windy night, oh
 Then she has cursed the rainy night
 That she's opened and she let him in, oh
