FARE THEE WELL COLD WINTER - Waterson Carthy    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9SwptACdRs
Fare thee well, cold winter and fare thee well, cold frost;
Nothing have I gained by thee but a false young girl at last.
But if she’s got another one and they both can agree,
She’s welcome to stay with him and think no more of me.

She wrote to me a letter to say that she was sad;
I quickly wrote the answer back to say that I were glad.
She may keep her paper and I will keep my time,
For what I’d have a true young girl I’d search the world around.

One day that I was walking all through the shady grove,
’Twas there I met my own true love, she handed me a rose.
Thinking I should keep it to never pass her by,
For what I’d have a true young girl I’d lay me down and die.

False deceitful young girls are easy to be found,
For what I’d have a true young girl I’d search this world around.
And if she’s got another one and they can’t both agree,
She’s welcome to stay with him and think no more of me.

I’ll be all smiles tonight, boys, I’ll be all smiles tonight
If my heart should break tomorrow I’ll be all smiles tonight.
