Cold Up North
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's so cold up north, that a bird can hardly fly
Well it's so cold up north, that a bird can hardly fly
Now you know I'm goin' back down south, let this winter pass on by
Well I know my baby, don't know what a shape I'm in
Yeah I know my baby, she don't know what a shape I'm in
Now you know I ain't had me no lovin', people you know I ain't got no friend
Mmm... (hums two lines)
Now you know I ain't had me no lovin', people you know ain't got no friend
Well I believe I go, further down the road
Yeah I believe I go, further down the road
Now you know I done stayed over here in Switzerland, people you know I done almost froze
Well if I could hold, hold my heart in my hand
Yeah if I could hold, hold my heart in my hand
You know I would show you pretty girls, just how to treat your man
