Sava - Winter's Eve lyrics

Twas on a cold winters evening When first came down the snow Over hills and lofty mountains The stormy winds did blow A damsel she came tripping down All in a drift of snow With a baby in her arms She knew not where to go She says my pretty pretty baby I'll warn you to my breast For little does your father Know how sore we are distressed That dark and stormy was the night That pierced my heart with cold And cruel was that false young man Who sold his heart for gold She kissed her baby's cold lips And laid it by her side Turning her blue eyes to heaven They both laid down and died
