The Snow it Melts the Soonest, Hobbyhorse

In celebration of the winter Holidays we offer you our version of the traditional song , "The Snow it Melts the Soonest".

This song is about a young woman whose lover is about to leave her. Through metaphor she tries to persuade him (and herself), that as soon as he walks away, he will realize what he is missing. He will rush back to her, his love stronger than ever. Whether he does or doesn't, we will never know.

We were inspired by versions recorded by Anne Briggs and Dick Gaughan.
