The Snows Of France And Holland (McNeill)

For the northwind knows no border
And no change across the shore
The old friends on the other roads
And the dark eyeds even more
For there's many really comin'
From Flandern t' take the blame
And the snows of France and Holland
Aparted me in mine.

For there's songs to hear and sounds to feel
And scenes to make you sing
For the funniest in the morning
Is a snow-goose on the wing
For her neck is long and slender
Her road's a simple line
And the snows of France and Holland
Aparted me in mine.

Oh, the mood stands o'er the ocean
And the waves roll back the time
The strongest man is the wisest fool
Till he knows the road he'll die
All the snow-geese cry to the cold north winds
The fool cries out for saints
And the snows of France and Holland
Aparted me in mine.
And the snows of France and Holland
Aparted me in mine.
