Summary: A
girl is locked away in a temple of chastity by her parents,
the knight in shining armour is played by a wayward knight,
who comes to her window every evening to ask to be let in.
Eventually she agrees, they sleep together, he tries to
do a runner - and is almost caught by her parents
Moral: Don't trust
the intentions of soldiers on leave, especially if it's
cold.

Oh me hat is frozen to me head
And me feet they are like a lump of lead
Oh me shoes they are frozen to me feet
With standing at your window
Oh let me in the soldier cried
Cold haily windy night
Oh let me in the soldier cried
For I'll not come back again o
Oh me father he watches down on the street
My mother the chamber keys do keep
Oh the doors and the windows they do creak
And I dare not let you in o
Oh let me in the soldier cried
Cold haily windy night
Oh let me in the soldier cried
For I'll not come back again o
Oh she's rose up and let him in
And she's kissed her true love cheek and chin
She's drawn him between the sheets again
And she opened and let him in o
Oh then she has blessed the rainy night
Cold haily windy night
Oh then she has blessed the rainy night
That she opened and she let him in o

O soldier soldier stay with
me
And soldier soldier won't you marry me
Oh no oh no that ne'er can be
So fare thee well forever
Oh then she has wept for the rainy night
Cold haily windy night
Oh then she has wept for the rainy night
That she opened and she let him in o
And he's jumped up all out of the bed
And he's put his hat all on his head
For she had lost her maidenhead
And her mother has heard the din o
Oh then she has cursed the rainy night
Cold haily windy night
Oh then she has cursed the rainy night
That she opened and she let him in o
