So fare ye well cold winter, fare ye well cold frost Nothing have I gained, me own true love I’ve lost I’ll drink and I’ll be merry when occasion I do see I’ll rest when I am weary let her go farewell she Last night I saw me true love in yonder shady grove She gave to me a smile, she gave to me a rose She thought I should have spoke to her as she was passing by Before I’ll humble to my love I’ll lay me down and die For if she has another lover and she treats me as a joke She thinks in her heart this will me provoke If she has another lover well I hope they both agree I rejoice at twenty let her go farewell she Take half a pound of reason a quarter pound of sense A small sprig of thyme and as much of prudence Mix them all together and then you’ll plainly see She’s a false deluding lover let her go farewell she
Wonderful. Enjoyed immensely. Thank you.
So fare ye well cold winter, fare ye well cold frost
Nothing have I gained, me own true love I’ve lost
I’ll drink and I’ll be merry when occasion I do see
I’ll rest when I am weary let her go farewell she
Last night I saw me true love in yonder shady grove
She gave to me a smile, she gave to me a rose
She thought I should have spoke to her as she was passing by
Before I’ll humble to my love I’ll lay me down and die
For if she has another lover and she treats me as a joke
She thinks in her heart this will me provoke
If she has another lover well I hope they both agree
I rejoice at twenty let her go farewell she
Take half a pound of reason a quarter pound of sense
A small sprig of thyme and as much of prudence
Mix them all together and then you’ll plainly see
She’s a false deluding lover let her go farewell she
