Oh my hat is frozen to my head
My feet are like a lump of lead
Oh my shoes they are frozen to me feet
With standing at your window
Oh let me in, the soldier cried
Cold haily windy night
Oh let me in, the soldier cried
For I'll not come back again oh
Oh me father he watches down on the street
My mother the bedroom keys she keeps
The doors and the windows they do creak
And I dare not let you in oh
Oh let me in, the soldier cried
Cold haily windy night
Oh let me in, the soldier cried
For I'll not come back again oh
Oh she's rose up and let him in
She's kissed her true love cheek and chin
She took him between the sheets again
And she opened and she let him in oh
Oh 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 oh
Oh soldier, soldier, would you stay with me?
And soldier, won't you marry me?
Oh no oh no that ne'er can be
So fare thee well forever
Oh then she has wept for the rainy night
Cold haily windy night
Oh then she has wept for the rainy night
That she opened and she let him in oh
And he's jumped up all out of the bed
And he's put his hat all on his head
For she had lost her maidenhead
And her mother has heard the din oh
Oh then she has cursed the rainy night
Cold haily windy night
Oh then she has cursed the rainy night
That she opened and she let him in oh
