# Esta canción la quiero tocar: The Snow It Melts The Soonest

Dejo la letra original de la canción tradicional **[The Snow It Melts The Soonest](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Snows_They_Melt_the_Soonest)**, creo que inglesa )o escocesa, no sé).

*Lyrics collected by Thomas Doubleday in 1821 from a street singer in Newcastle, England*

> The Snow It Melts The SoonestO, the snow it melts the soonest when the winds begin to sing;And the corn it ripens fastest when the frosts are setting in;And when a woman tells me that my face she’ll soon forget,Before we part, I wad a crown, she’s fain to follow’t yet.

> The snow it melts the soonest when the wind begins to sing;And the swallow skims without a thought as long as it is spring;But when spring goes, and winter blows, my lass, an ye’ll be fain,For all your pride, to follow me, were’t cross the stormy main.

> O, the snow it melts the soonest when the wind begins to sing;The bee that flew when summer shined, in winter cannot sting;-I’ve seen a woman’s anger melt between the night and morn,And it’s surely not a harder thing to tame a woman’s scorn.

> O, never say me farewell here -no farewell I’ll receive,For you shall set me to the stile, and kiss and take your leave;But I’ll stay here till the woodcock comes, and the martlet takes his wing,Since the snow aye melts the soonest, lass, when the wind begins to sing.

*Lyrics collected by Thomas Doubleday in 1821 from a street singer in Newcastle, England*
