Lyrics:

Me hat is frozen to me head
Me body is like a lump, oh, lead
Me shoes have frozen to me feet
From standing at your window
'Let me come in,' the soldier cried
Cold blow and the rainy night
'Let me come in,' the soldier cried
I'll never come back again, no
Me father's working down the street
Me mother, the bedroom keys does keep
Me doors and windows all do creek
I cannot let you in, no
'Let me come in,' the soldier cried
Cold blow and the rainy night
'Let me come in,' the soldier cried
I'll never come back again, no
Then she came down and let him in
And kissed his ruby lips and chin
They went back to bed again
The soldier, he won her favor
Then she blessed the rainy night
Cold blow and the rainy night
Then she blessed the rainy night
That ever she let him in, no
Now you've had your way with me
Soldier, won't you marry me?
No, me love, that never can be
So fare thee well forever
Then she cursed the rainy night
Cold blow and the rainy night
Then she cursed the rainy night
That ever she let him in, no
Then he got up out of the bed
To put his hat upon his head
She had lost her maidenhead
And her mummy had heard the jingle
Then she cursed the rainy night
Cold blow and the rainy night
Then she cursed the rainy night
That ever she let him in, no
