OUT IN THE COLD, COLD SNOW
Will E. Haines & Jimmy Harper
Sung by Gracie Fields in the film "Love, Life and Laughter" (1934)

1. I wander alone through the city.
Not a friend in the world do I know;
Not a crust, not a bite as I trudge thro' the night
Out in the cold, cold snow.
They think I'm a tramp or a hiker,
But it's pride that compels me to go
Past the homes of the posh thro' the slush and the slosh
Out in the cold, cold snow.

CHORUS: Out in the cold, cold snow –
Out where the cold winds blow –
No-one to love me and nowhere to go
Out in the cold, cold snow.

2. It's all through the bloke that I married,
When he gambled and spent all the dough;
Then he slung me, Oh Heck! By the back of the neck,
Out in the cold, cold snow.
He left me with one little off-spring,
Cast your eye on our John Willie Joe:
Does it seem worth a kiss to be landed like this
Out in the cold, cold snow.

3. One dark night I jumped in the river
For to end all my weal and my woe;
But I just missed the flood, so I stuck in the mud,
Out in the cold, cold snow.
I've only the rags that I'm wearing.
All my silks went in pawn long ago:
But I keep out the wet with my red flannelette,
Out in the cold, cold snow.

4. Last night I was chased by a bandit,
He took me for the Duchess of Bow;
'Where's your town house?' he cried, and to him I replied,
Out in the cold, cold snow.
I don't seek revenge on my 'usband
'Cause to blazes I'm sure he will go:
Then how glad he would be to change places with me,
Out in the cold, cold snow.

Could it be, "Out in the cold, rain and snow" ?

Thanx Wolfgang but no .... That version is a parody of the original which it says Gracie Fields sang, so someone must know it.

Since searching for songs for the Charles Dickens thread I've had this song snippet running through my head.
I've done a Google search and come up with nothing ..... Now I wonder if you can help me find the rest of this song.
All I can remember is .......

Out in the cold cold snow
Out where the cold winds blow
No one to love me and no where to go
Out in the cold cold snow
