Lyrics
(English folk song)
When the wind is in the east,
It’s neither good for man or beast,
It’s neither good for man or beast.
When the wind is in the west,
The corn and clover grow the best.
The corn and clover grow the best.
When the jolly north wind blows,
It brings the cold and drifting snows,
It brings the cold and drifting snows
When the gentle south wind blows,
The flowers their petals all unclose,
The flowers their petals all unclose
