The world is old tonight – the world is old
The stars around the fold do show their light
Do show their light
And so they did – and so – a thousand years ago
And so we’ll do good Lad’s when we lie cold

The world is still tonight – the world is still
The snow on vale and hill like wool lies white
Like wool lies white
And so it did – and so – a thousand years ago
And so we’ll do my love when we like will

And so they did – and so – a thousand years ago
And so we’ll do good Lad’s when we lie cold
