Lyrics are here on Mudcat: DARK DECEMBER (Graeme Miles) posted by Virginia Tam 09 Jan 09 DARK DECEMBER (Graeme Miles)
Oh should we curse the winter For being e'er so long When the trees are black and groaning And every leaf is gone And from the silent blackthorn bush There comes no small bird's song
Oh should we curse the winter Oh should we curse the winter Oh should we curse the winter And December most of all
Oh should we curse the winter For being e'er so cold When the sheep together huddle To keep warm in their fold And a man don't leave his fireside Unless that man be bold
Chorus
Oh should we curse the winter For being e'er so bleak When a man turns up his collar To guard his frozen cheek And hurries through the icebound streets Through rain or sleet or squall
Chorus
Oh should we curse the winter For being e'er so dark When the sun is late in rising But early to depart When the bitter northern blizzard winds Freeze our very hearts
Chorus
No we should not curse the winter With its icy wind and storms Likewise the cold and darkness No man on Earth should scorn For it was dark December When the Christ child he was born
No we should not curse the winter No we should not curse the winter No we should not curse the winter And December least of all
