Fair maids of February, why don't you come out today?
Fair maids of February, why don't you come out to play?
Oh we've seen you, oh, we've seen you
When the air was sweet and made us grow
From the fastness of winter, the first flower to venture
And now we're lying beneath the snow

Our dresses are torn and tattered, There's nothing here you'd wish to see
Our faces are lined with sorrow I'm sure you would agree
We used to love dancing, we used to love dancing
So many. many years ago
But with no-one to court us, our courage has left us
And now we're dying beneath the snow

But we are rooted, we are your children We don't have the power to choose
So take heed in February, or your fate will be like ours
Oh, we told you, oh, we told you
So many, many times before
But you didn't believe us and you'll never believe us
And now we're dying beneath the snow
