Farewell He!, commencing "Fare thee well cold winter, and fare thee well cold frost" is, with music, in Frank Purlsow's 'The Constant Lovers', 1972. This has five verses. A song "Let him Gang", of 3 verses in David Herd's 'Scots Songs', II, p. 180, 1776 is related. James Reeves, 'The Everlasting Circle', 1960, gave two short traditional texts, "Farewell He", #40, without music.

Other versions in Kidson's 'English Peasant Songs', 1929; Baring Gould's 'Garland'; 'Dorset Book of Folk Songs'.

A good text without tune is in Gardiner and Chickering's 'Ballads and Songs of Southern Michigan', p. 130, 1939 (reprinted 1967). See the Traditional Ballad Index on the internet for further American versions.
