Blow thou Winter Wind by Kofi Young Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Blow, blow, thou winter wind
Thou art not so unkind
As man’s ingratitude;
Thy tooth is not so keen
Because thou art not seen
Although thy breath be rude

[Chorus]
Sing, heigh-ho! unto the green holly:
Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly
Then, heigh-ho, this life is most jolly:
Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly

[Verse 2]
Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky
That dost not bite so nigh
As benefits forgot:
Though thou the waters warp
Thy sting is not so sharp
As friend remembered not
[Chorus]
Sing, heigh-ho! unto the green holly:
Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly
Then, heigh-ho, this life is most jolly:
Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly
