Cold, Haily, Windy Night

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
