[Verse 1]
There is snow on the hill, rain in the valley
Dust on the sill and this long blind alley
Well, if crows can't fly, then I have no lover
If water is dry, she has no other

[Refrain]
Hmm, hmm
Hmm, mmm-hmm
Hmm, hmm
Hmm, mmm-hmm

[Verse 2]
Well, if the sun don't rise, then I'm never lonely
If no one cries, then I am her only
It's peat for the fire, peat for the garden
Peat for the barley, peat for my darling

[Refrain]
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm, mmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm, mmm-hmm

[Verse 3]
The sun isn't hot, the moon isn't round
This world isn't full of sorrow
Bullets aren't shot and shot makes no sound
And my faithful love will be around tomorrow
[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Well, it's snow on the hill, rain in the valley
Dust on the sill and a notch on the tally

[Refrain]
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm, mmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm, mmm-hmm
