Let The Cold Wind Blow

Oh dear me what do mine eyes see

James Renald and my love sat under yon tree

My heart it bleeds

For she loves him indeed

Sing hi lo lay at the end of the day

Sing hi lo lay at the end of the day

Here I stand empty heart, empty hand

While he has my true love and he has my land

My heart is sore

For she loves me no more

Sing hi lo lay at the end of the day

Sing hi lo lay at the end of the day

No more she’ll fly, no more she’ll cry

All over the cold earth beneath which I lie

My heart it grieves

For my side she must leave

Sing hi lo lay at the end of the day

Sing hi lo lay at the end of the day

Let the cold wind blow, let the years come and go

I’ll wait for my true love though she’ll never know

I wish them no rest

Like the heart in my breast

Sing hi lo lay at the end of the day

Sing hi lo lay at the end of the day

I wish them no rest

Like the heart in my breast

Sing hi lo lay at the end of the day

Sing hi lo lay at the end of the day
