Fare Thee Well Cold Winter

Fare thee well cold winter and fare thee well cold frost
Nothing have I gained by thee but a false young girl at last
But if she's got another one and they can both agree
She's welcome to stay with him and think no more of me
She wrote to me a letter to say that she was sad
I quickly wrote the answer back to say that I was glad
She may keep her paper and I will keep my tongue
For what I'd have a true young girl, I'd search the world around
One day that I was walking down by a shady brook
'Twas there I met my own true love and she handed me a rose
Thinking I should take it and never pass her by
For what I'd have a true young girl, I'd lay me down and die
False deceitful young girls aren't easy to be found
For what I'd have a true young girl, I'd search the world around
But if she's got another one and they can both agree
She's welcome to stay with him and think no more of me
I'll be all smiles tonight
Boys, I'll be all smiles tonight
If my heart should break tomorrow
I'll be all smiles tonight
