Blow, blow thou winter wind,
Blow, blow, thou winter wind.
Thou art not so unkind
Thou art not so unkind
as man's ingratitude.
As man's ingratitude;
Freeze, freeze thou bitter sky,
Thy tooth is not so keen,
Thou dost not bite so nigh
Because thou art not seen,
as benefits forgot.
Although thy breath be rude.


Heigh ho, sing heigh ho,
Heigh-ho! sing, heigh-ho!
unto the greene holly,
unto the green holly:
Most friendship is feigning;
Most friendship is feigning,
most loving, meere folly:
most loving meere folly:
Then heigh ho, the holly,
Then, heigh-ho, the holly!
This Life is most jolly.
This Life is most jolly.


Thy tooth is not so keen,
Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky,
Because thou art not seen.
That dost not bite so nigh
Although thy breath be rude.
As benefits forgot:
Though thou the waters warp,
Though thou the waters warp,
Thy sting is not so sharp,
Thy sting is not so sharp
As friends remembered not.}}
As friends remember'd not.
 
Heigh-ho! sing, (etc.)

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.

Heigh-ho! sing, heigh-ho!
unto the green holly:
Most friendship is feigning,
most loving meere folly:
Then, heigh-ho, the holly!
This Life is most jolly.

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 friends remember'd not.

Heigh-ho! sing, (etc.)
