The Max Hunter Folksong Collection

Adieu to Cold Winter

Cat. #0023 (MFH #3) - As sung by Frank Pool in Fayetteville, Arkansas on January 6, 1958

It's adieu to cold winter
Godbye to cold frost
I'll cheer up in spirits
For th little beau I lost
Well, I wish himself a fortune
And myself, a better grace
An' I'll catch another
In a fair an' closer place
If he's gone, let him go
Let him sink or let him swim
If he don't care for me
I'm sure I don't for him
And I wish himself a fortune
And myself, a better grace
And I'll catch another
In a fair and closer place
