lyrics

The lonesome scenes of winter inclined to frost and snow
The lonesome scenes of winter inclined to frost and snow
The dark clouds round me gather, the chilly winds do blow.

The sweet little birds sit singing on every leaf and vine
The sweet little birds sit singing on every leaf and vine
My heart would go a-sporting if Mary could be mine

I went to see her last night, she seemed most soberly
I went to see her last night, she seemed most soberly
I asked if she would marry, she would not consent to me

You are the one I’ve chosen to be my dearest dear
You are the one I’ve chosen to be my dearest dear
Your cold heart’s frozen and you’ve locked up love, I fear

The night is quiet advancing, it’s near the break of day
The night is quiet advancing, it’s near the break of day
I’m waiting for an answer. Kind miss, what do you say?

Well, sir, if I must tell you. I’ve chose a single life.
Sir, if I must tell you, I’ve chose a single life.
I never thought it suitable for me to be your wife.

Well, Madam, I know your riches, much more you’d like to gain.
Madam, I know your riches, much more you’d like to gain.
You’ve gained my affections, now me you do disdain.

Your money, it won’t last you. It’ll melt away like snow.
Your money it won’t last you. It’ll melt away like snow.
When poverty overtakes you, you’ll think of me, I know.
