Cold's the Wind and Wet's the Rain

/

about

This song is associated with Shakespearean theatre, and the tune, The Cobbler's Jig, was published in John Playford's The Dancing Master in 1679.

lyrics

Cold's the Wind and Wet's the Rain
St. Hugh be our good speed
Ill is the weather than bringesth no gain,
Nor helps good hearts in need.

Hey down a-down, hey down a-down
Hey derry derry down a-down
Ho! well done, to me let come,
Ring compass, gentle joy

Troll the bowl, the nut-brown bowl,
And here, kind mate, to thee!
Let's sing a dirge for Saint Hugh's soul,
And drown it merrily
