Chilly Scenes of Winter



Chilly scenes of winter

Is trying to frost or snow

Dark clouds are gathering'round me

Where the chilly wind does blow.



The night is almost over

The chickens a-crowing for day

I will ask you for an answer

Oh, love what do you sway?



This may be your answer

I choose a single life

I never thought it suited

For me to be your wife.



In about three weeks or later

That lady's mind did change

She writted him a letter

Saying Mister I'm ashamed.



If it is you are slighted

And you so far from home

Here is my heart, take it

And claim it as your own.



It was me you slighted

And I'm so far from home

I have another true lover

One I can call my own.



There sits a turtle dove

On every bush and vine

To weep and moan for your true-love

While I rejoice with mine.



From May Carver (Cousin Emmy)
