The Winter Wind

Blow... blow... thou winter wind Blow... blow... blow Blow, blow, thou winter wind Thou art not so unkind As man's ingratitude Thy tooth is not so keen Because thou art not seen Although thy breath be rude The cold don't cut the way it should When friends forget the way they could Heigh-ho! Sing heigh-ho! Unto the green holly Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly Then heigh-ho, the holly This life is most jolly Heigh-ho, heigh-ho — let the cold wind blow Heigh-ho, heigh-ho — this life is most jolly Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky That dost not bite so nigh As benefits forgot Though thou the waters warp Thy sting is not so sharp As friend remembered not The frost don't sting the way it should When love turns cold and misunderstood Heigh-ho! Sing heigh-ho! Unto the green holly Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly Then heigh-ho, the holly This life is most jolly Heigh-ho, heigh-ho — let the cold wind blow Heigh-ho, heigh-ho — this life is most jolly Freeze me, wind — I feel no pain The wounds of men cut deeper still The holly's green through snow and rain But hearts grow cold against their will Heigh-ho... heigh-ho Let the false ones go Heigh-ho... heigh-ho This life is most jolly Heigh-ho! Sing heigh-ho! Unto the green holly Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly Then heigh-ho, the holly This life is most jolly Heigh-ho, heigh-ho — let the cold wind blow Heigh-ho, heigh-ho — this life is most jolly Blow, blow, thou winter wind Then heigh-ho, the holly This life is most jolly Heigh-ho... heigh-ho
