_ _ _ [G#m] The snows, they melt the _ [F#] soonest [G#] When the [C#] wind [G#] begins to [G#m] sing
_ _ The corn, it ripens [C#] fastest When [F#] _ [C#] the _ [F#] frosts [C#] are settling
_ When _
[G#m] _ a woman tells [C#] me [F#] that [C#] my face she'll soon [G#m] forget
_ _ Before we part, I'll [E] wait a croon _ [G#] _
She's [C#] [G#m] fain to follow it yet _ _
[G#] _ _ _ _ _ The snows, they [G#m] melt the _ [C#] soonest When [G#] the winds [C#] begin [G#m] to sing
_ [C#] The [G#]
swallow flies _ [C#] without a [F#] thought [C#] _ As [F#] long as it [C#] is spring _
_ _ [G#m] When [G#] spring blows and [C#] winter _ [F#] _ blows [C#] My love, then you'll be [F#] fain _ _ _ _
_ For [G#] all [G#m] your pride to [C#m] follow me _ _ [G#] Across [C#] the [G#] ridge and the lake
[A#m] _ [G#m] _ _
_ _ [D#] _ _ [G#] The snows, they melt the [G#m] _ _ [C#] soonest When [G#m] the winds [F#] [G#] begin _ _ _ _ to sing
The bee that [G#m] flew when [C#] summer _ _ [F#] shone [C#] In [F#] winter can [C#] it sting _ _
_ [G#m] I've seen a woman's [C#] anger [F#] melt _ [C#] Between the night [G#m] and the morn
_ _ [G#] So it's surely not a [A#] harder thing _ [G#] To _ [C#] melt [G#] a woman's [G#m] scorn
[F#] _ _ _ [D#] _ _ [G#] _
_ So don't you bid me [G#m] _
farewell [C#] here [G#m] No farewell [F#] _
[G#m] I'll never see
_ [G#] _ For you will lie [G#m] with [C#] me my _ [F#] love Then [C#] you'll kiss [F#] and take [D#] your leave
_ [G#] I'll wait here [G#m] till the moor [C#] calls _ [F#] _ _ [C#] And the mountain _ _
[F#] takes the _ _ wing _ _
[B] _ [G#m] For the snows, they melt the soonest [E] When _ [G#] the _ _ winds begin to [G#m] sing
