[ti:The Snow it Melts the Soonest] [ar:The Hush] [al:Rothbury Races' Songs of Mid Northumberland - The Northumbria Anthology] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]The Snow it Melts the Soonest - The Hush/Keith Swallow [00:12.89]Oh the snow it melts the soonest when the winds begin to sing [00:18.62] [00:19.98]And the corn it ripens fastest when the frost are settling in [00:24.91] [00:26.31]And when a woman tells me that my face she'll soon forget [00:31.88] [00:33.04]Before we'll part I'll wage a croon she's fain to follow't yet [00:39.81] [00:45.49]Oh the snow it melts the soonest when the winds begin to sing [00:51.02] [00:52.21]And the swallow skims without a thought as long as it is spring [00:57.58] [00:58.59]But when spring goes and winter blows my lassie you'll be fain [01:04.24] [01:05.12]For all your pride to follow me across the stormy main [01:12.51] [01:17.08]Oh the snow it melts the soonest when the winds begin to sing [01:22.97] [01:23.96]And the bee that flew when summer shone in winter cannot sting [01:29.32] [01:30.50]I've seen a woman's anger melt between the night and morn [01:36.64]And it's surely not a harder thing to tame a woman's scorn [01:45.36] [02:20.68]Oh never say me farewell here no farewell I'll receive [02:26.35] [02:27.60]For you shall set me to the stile and kiss and take your leave [02:32.66] [02:33.76]I'll stay here till the curlew calls and the martlet takes his wing [02:40.15]For the snow it melts the soonest when the winds begin to sing
