Cold Rainy Haily Night

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 haily rainy night
 O let me in the soldier cried
 For I'll not go back again O

My father's walking on the street
My mother the chamber keys does keep
The doors and windows they do creak
I dare not let you in O
 Let me in the soldier cried
 Cold haily rainy night
 O let me in the soldier cried
 For I'll not go back again O

O 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 favour
 Then she blessed the rainy night
 Cold haily rainy night
 O 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 ?
No such thing can ever be
So fare you well for ever
 Then she cursed the rainy night
 Cold haily rainy night
 O then she cursed the rainy night
 That ever she let him in O

Then he jumped out of the bed
He put his cap upon his head
And she had lost her maidenhead
And her mother heard the din O
 Then she cursed the rainy night
 Cold haily rainy night
 O then she cursed the rainy night
 That ever she let him in O
