Oh me hat it is frozen to me head 
Me feet they are like a lump of lead 
Oh me shoes they are frozen to me feet 
With standing at your window 

Let me in, the soldier cried 
Cold haily windy night 
Oh let me in, the soldier cried 
For I'll not go back again, no 

Me father he watches down on the street 
Me mother the chamber keys do keep 
Oh, the doors and the windows they do creak 
I dare not let you in O 

Let me in, the soldier cried 
Cold haily windy night 
Oh let me in, the soldier cried 
For I'll not go back again, no 

Oh and she's rose up and she's let him in 
She's kissed her [bad word] love cheek and chin 
And she's drawn him between her sheets again 
And she opened and she let him in O 

Then she has blessed the rainy night 
Cold haily windy night 
Oh then she has blessed the rainy night 
That she opened and she let him in O 

Soldier, soldier stay with me 
Soldier, soldier won't you marry me 
Oh no, no, no, it never can be 
So fare bid thee well forever 

Then she has wept for the rainy night 
Cold haily windy night 
Then she has wept for the rainy night 
That she opened and she let him in O 

Oh and he's jumped up all out of the bed 
He's put his hat all on his head 
But she had lost her maidenhead 
Her mother she heard the din O 

Then she has cursed the rainy night 
Cold haily windy night 
O then she has cursed the rainy night 
That she opened and she let him in O.
