I should lay my burden down
instead I cling him heavy to my head
when I should lay my burden down

I ought to leave my man
instead I sleep heavy on his bed
when I ought to leave my man

hold my heart and hold my waist
the whole night  through
hold my heart and hold my head
until the day is new

everything up here froze to Ice,
everything that once was very nice.
there is nothing much that I can do until spring time will arrive
since everything up here froze to ice.

when home sweet home seems far away
I find a place to rest.
on your well grown beard I lay, upon your homely chest
