The cold weather is past and gone,

and now comes on the spring.

And I am one king's life-guards,

and I must go fight for my king, my dear,

and I must go fight for my king.

Now since to the wars you must go,

one thing I pray grant me

It's I will dress myself in man's attire.

and I'll travel along with thee, my dear,

and I'll travel along with thee.

I would not for ten thousand worlds

that my love endangered were;

The rattling of drums and shining of sword

will cause great sorrow and wo, my dear

will cause great sorrow and wo.

I will do the thing for my true love,

that she will not do-for me;

It's I'll put cuffs of black on my red coat,

and mourn till the day I die, my dear.

and mourn till the day I die.
