lyrics

The Snows They Melt the Soonest
(Trad)

The snows they melt the soonest when the wind begins to sing
(Am) (F) (Am)
The corn it ripens fastest when the frosts are settling in
(Am) (F) (D) (Am)
And when a young man tells me that my face he'll soon forget
(Am) (F) (D) (Em)
Before we part, I’ll wage a crown, he's fain to follow yet
(Am) (F) (Am) (Em) (Am)

And the snows they melt the soonest when the winds begin to sing
(Am) (F) (Am)
And the swallows fly without any thought as long as it is spring
(Am) (F) (D) (Am)
And when spring goes, and winter blows, my love, then you’ll be free
(Am) (F) (D) (Em)
For all your pride, to follow me across the raging main
(Am) (F) (Am) (D) (Am)




And the snows they melt the soonest when the wind begins to sing
(Am) (F) (Am)
And the bee that flew when summer shone, in winter cannot sting
(Am) (F) (D) (Am)
I've seen the young man’s anger melt between the night and the morn
(Am) (F) (D) (Em)
So it's surely not a harder thing to melt a young man's scorn
(Am) (F) (Am) (Em) (Am)

So don’t you bid me farewell here - no farewell I'll receive
(Am) (F) (Dm) (Am)
For you will lay with me my love and kiss then take your leave
(Am) (F) (D) (Am)
And I'll wait here till the moorcock calls, and the martin takes the wing
(Am) (Dm) (F) (D) (F)
For the snows the melt the soonest, when the wind begins to sing
(Am) (Dm) (Am) (Em) (Am)
