Cold Blow - Christy Moore

My cap is frozen to my head

My heart is like a lump of lead

My shoes are frozen to my feet

With standing at your window

Let me in the soldier cried

Cold blow the rainy night

Oh let me in the soldier cried

I’ll not go back again — O

My father’s walking on the street

My mother the chamber keys do keep

The doors and windows, they do creak

I dare not let you in — O

Let me in the soldier cried

Cold blow and the rainy night

O let me in the soldier cried

For I’ll not go back again — O

Oh then she rose and let him in

And kissed his ruby lips and chin

And then they went to bed again

And soon he gained her favor

Then she blessed the rainy night

She rose and let him in — O

Now since you had your will of me

Soldier will you marry me?
