Goodbye to cold winter
Goodnight to white frost

Cheer up my spirits for my old beau I have lost
But I can get another before he's gone far away
If he's gone let him go, let him sink or swim
If he doesn't care for me why should I care for him?

Because I am a woman he'll fool me all he can
There's nothing in this world so deceitful as a man
Many a long evening have we sit and chat
But what more do you think? I should love the fool for that?

The evening was so long and the time passed all so slow
I thought I'd have to tell the fool to get his hat and go
