Me hat is frozen to me head,
Me body is like a lump of lead,
Me shoes are frozen to me feet,
From standing at your window.
Let me come in, the soldier cried,
Cold and lonely, rainy night.
Let me come in, the soldier cried,
I'll never come back again, no.
Me father's working down the street,
Me mother the bedroom keys to keep,
Me doors and windows all do creak,
Let me come in, the soldier cried,
cold below on the rainy night
Let me come in, the soldier cried,
I'll never come back again, no
Then she got up and let him in,
and kissed his ruby lips and chin
They went back to bed again,
and the soldier, he won her favour
Then she blessed the rainy night,
cold blowin' the rainy night
Then she blessed the rainy night,
by damn, she let him in low
Then she blessed the rainy night,
cold blowin' the rainy night
Then she blessed the rainy night
That ever she let him in,
Now you're paddy away with me
Oh, soldier, will you marry me?
No, me love, this never can be
Then she cursed the rainy night
Cold blow on the rainy night
Then she cursed the rainy night
Then he got up out of the bed
And he put his hat upon his head
She had lost her maiden head
And her mommy had heard the jingle
Then she cursed the rainy night
Cold blow on the rainy night
Then she cursed the rainy night
But ever she let him in, no you
