In de middle of de winter, / Snow all over de ground.
In de middle of de winter, / Snow all over de ground --
'Twas de night befo' Christmas / Ma good man turned me down.
Don' know's I'd mind his goin'
But he left me when de coal was low.
Don' know's I'd mind his goin'
But he left when de coal was low.
Now, if a man loves a woman / That ain't no time to go.
He told me that he loved me / But he must a been tellin' a lie.
He told me that he loved me.
He must a been tellin' a lie.
But he's the only man I'll / Love till de day I die.
I'm gonna buy me a rose bud / An' plant it at ma back door.
Gonna buy me a rose bud / And plant it at ma back door, / So when I'm dead they / Won't need no flowers from de store.
