A wind cut through my old front door, where can my darling be?
All the snow had fallen around our home and covered the tall pine trees
Oh my darling wore a dress of black, just like her raven hair
I found her in the snow so deep, my sorrow echoed through the air
Why did you go and leave me lonely
Why did you leave our happy home
And why did you wander in the mountains, when you knew that you would leave me all alone
All through the night the winds blew cold, the mountain side did freeze
And there I wept for my own true love, who'll never return to me
No meat no bread, no food can I eat, my heart has been broken in two
Now the only company I have left, is whiskey and memories of you
