Sorrow is my bread

And tears I drink as wine

Oblivion my happiness

Ground under teeth of time

When frost be devoured the land

Consolation is no gift
C7
Of winter's icy hand

Upon a crust of snow

I'll lay my broken frame

What steel and iron won't take
C
I'll give in winter's name
Fm Db
No good a sullen sout no use a simple knave

No groom for brides of plaited hair

This man old and lame

To see the sun of may

But still longer are the nights than days

With sound of war drums beat

Said no sword arm's strong enough

Without my two good feet
