The Month of January - The Clancy Brothers/Tommy Makem[00:00:00]
It was in the month of January[00:00:04]
The hills were clad in snow[00:00:11]
As over hills and mountains[00:00:17]
My true love he did go[00:00:26]
It was there he spied[00:00:32]
A pretty fair maid[00:00:36]
With a salt tear in her eye[00:00:41]
She had a baby in her arms[00:00:47]
And bitter she did cry[00:00:55]
Oh cruel was my father[00:01:02]
To bar the door on me[00:01:10]
And cruel was my mother[00:01:16]
This dreadful crime to see[00:01:25]
Cruel was my own true love[00:01:32]
To change his mind for gold[00:01:41]
Cruel was that winter's night[00:01:48]
That pierced my heart with cold[00:01:55]
Oh the taller that the palm tree grows[00:02:02]
The sweeter is the bark[00:02:10]
And the fairer that a young man speaks[00:02:16]
The falser is his heart[00:02:24]
He will kiss you and embrace you[00:02:31]
'Til he thinks he has you won[00:02:40]
Then he'll go away and leave you[00:02:46]
All for some other one[00:02:54]
Oh come all you pretty fair maids[00:03:01]
A warning take by me[00:03:08]
And never try to build your nest[00:03:14]
On top of any tree[00:03:23]
For the roots they will all wither[00:03:29]
And the branches all decay[00:03:38]
And the beauties of a false young man[00:03:45]
Must all soon fade away[00:03:53]
