I know this song under a different name:



The Frost is all Over.


Oh, what would you do if you married a soldier?
"What would you if he followed his gun?"
And what would you do if he died on the ocean?
"What would you do, would you marry again?"

And what would you do if the kettle boiled over?
"What would I do but to fill it again?"
And what would you do if the cow ate the clover?
"What would I do but to set it again?"

The praties are dug and the frost is all over
Kitty lie over, next to the wall,
The summer is come and we're all in the clover
Kitty lie over, next to the wall.

The herrings are roasting, the frost is all over
Kitty lie over, close to the wall,
How would you like to be married to a soldier?
Kitty lie over, close to the wall,
