In the middle of the winter, Snow all over the ground. In the middle of the winter, Snow all over the ground -- 'Twas the night before Christmas My good man turned me down. Don't know's I'd mind his goin' But he left me when the coal was low. Don't know's I'd mind his goin' But he left when the coal was low. Now, if a man loves a woman That ain't no time to go. He tole me that he loved me But he must a been tellin' a lie. He tole me that he loved me But he must a been tellin' a lie. But he's the only man I'll Love till the day I die. I'm gonna buy me a rose bud And plant it at my back door. Gonna buy me a rose bud And plant it at my back door, So when I'm dead they Won't need no flowers from the store. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...L.E.L.'S LAST QUESTION by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING RECOLLECTIONS OF LOVE by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE TO THE SOUR READER by ROBERT HERRICK SONNET TO A NEGRO IN HARLEM by HELENE JOHNSON WHITTIER by MARGARET ELIZABETH MUNSON SANGSTER |
