Cold Haily Windy Night - Steeleye Span

Oh me hat it is frozen to me head

Me feet they are like a lump of lead

Oh me shoes they are frozen to me feet

With standing at your window

Let me in, the soldier cried

Cold haily windy night

Oh let me in, the soldier cried

For I’ll not go back again, no

Me father he watches down on the street

Me mother the chamber keys do keep

Oh, the doors and the windows they do creak

I dare not let you in O

Let me in, the soldier cried

Cold haily windy night

Oh let me in, the soldier cried

For I’ll not go back again, no

Oh and she’s rose up and she’s let him in

She’s kissed her true love cheek and chin

And she’s drawn him between her sheets again

And she opened and she let him in O

Then she has blessed the rainy night

Cold haily windy night

Oh then she has blessed the rainy night

That she opened and she let him in O

Soldier, soldier stay with me

Soldier, soldier won’t you marry me

Oh no, no, no, it never can be

So fare bid thee well forever

Then she has wept for the rainy night

Cold haily windy night

Then she has wept for the rainy night

That she opened and she let him in O

Oh and he’s jumped up all out of the bed

He’s put his hat all on his head

But she had lost her maidenhead

Her mother she heard the din O

Then she has cursed the rainy night

Cold haily windy night

O then she has cursed the rainy night

That she opened and she let him in O
