Ween - Cold Blows The Wind Lyrics






Cold blows the wind over my true love
cold blows the drops of rain
I never had but one true love
and in Camville he was slain

I'll do as much for my true love
as any young girl may
i'll sit and weep down by his grave
for twelve month and one day

But when twelve months were come and gone
this young man he arose
what makes you weep down by my grave
I can't take my repose

One kiss, one kiss of your lily white lips
one kiss is all I crave
one kiss, one kiss of your lily white lips
and return back to your grave

My lips they are as cold as my clay
my breath is heavy and strong
if thou was to kiss my lily white lips
thy days would not be long

Oh don't you remember the garden grove
where we used to walk
pluck the finest flower of them all
twill wither to a stalk

Go fetch me a Nun from the dungeon deep
and water from a stone
and white milk from a maiden's breast
that babe ere never known

Go dig me a grave both long, wide and deep
as quickly as you may
I'll lie down in it and take one sleep
for twelve month and one day

Cold blows the wind over my true love
cold blows the drops of rain
I never had but one true love
and in Camville he was slain

I'll do as much for my true love
as any young girl may
i'll sit and weep down by his grave
for twelve month and one day

    To all of you commenting on the genius of ween go listen to the inspiration for this song, the unquiet grave by the Dubliners. I enjoy ween but gotta respect where they got this song. I know the Dubliners didn’t write the song but it gives you an idea of where it came from.

  20. S.... I....

    I remember the garden grove, where we used to walk.

  21. D.... ....

    It sounds cool!

    Cold blows the wind over my true love
    Cold blows the drops of rain

    One of those rare songs that touch the soul...pure masterpiece.

    Little bit of pink floyd, little bit of the beatles, little bit of grateful dead, but most importantly, it's ween!

    superb <3

  27. C.... R....

    I catch a good buzz at night and listen to this endlessly

  28. s.... ....

    Cold blows the wind over my true love

    what would be the "term" for this type of composition? the word dirge comes to mind, but at the same time I'm sure that's not it.

    That's quite interesting thanks

  51. J.... 9....

    J.... 9....

    let's hope they decide to make a new album or maybe an official Shinola vol. 2?

    J.... 9....

    Daddy Zamasu Sadly I don't think they will :(

  52. T.... ....

    This is a song about a zombie

  53. E.... W....

    Hey girl, how's things going|?

  54. J.... W....

    Anyone else hear the similarity to the melody of Greensleaves?

    J.... W....

    Jake Whitehead damn, never made that connection. I do see what your saying.

    J.... W....

    they're both medieval ballads

  55. p.... g....

    This is my new favorite Ween song. I've heard it a hundred times but now I'm really hearing it. Wow.

    p.... g....

    GauntLife welcome friend, now go. go forth and open the doors. meanwhile say hello to the Beatles. and on your way out give the dead a call.

    p.... g....

    Choice cut,pal!

    p.... g....

    GauntLife tried and true is probably my favorite

    p.... g....

    That’s how I feel with every Ween song eventually. It’s like being blind to the song until you’re deep enough in the Ween hole to actually enjoy it. Ween grows on ya in such an interesting way. If you listen to one song you’re already infected and eventually you’ll love it

    p.... g....

    This happened to me, today.

  56. m.... ....

    When I want to make sure that the world is still full of nutcases, I read YouTube comments and I am assured they are still plentiful in supply. Nice song, btw.

  57. B.... ....

    i'll chime in here. we rented a beach house in the winter on a barrier island off of NJ. we always wanted to make a record on this island when it was deserted of people, and it was really deserted, empty--completely, nowhere to go and eat even. we set up our equipment on the very south end of the island and found ourselves there alone the first night. aaron (gene ween) had a songbook of old folk songs and we are huge fans of fairport convention and steeleye span--that kind of music. we took these lyrics out of the book and put our own chords over it and it is kind of the song that defined the original music we wrote after it for that album. it had to go on the record because it set the table for everything that came after it. i've never heard a version of it or read the poem and i probably never will. it's one of my fave ween tunes though and one of aaron's best vocal performances. my opinion.

    B.... ....

    So cool brother, thanks

    B.... ....

    Amazing music

    B.... ....

    This song is one of the greatest ever.

    B.... ....

    Thanks for a fresh take on the folk canon from a fellow Fairport and Steeleye fan.

    B.... ....

    BTFishing the word of the MIGHTY Deaner!!!

  58. B.... P....

    Jacob flumer I love you.

  59. C.... S....

    Watched Episode 1, season 2 of Penny Dreadful and instantly knew she was singing a ween song...but found out it is very only song.

    C.... S....

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Unquiet_Grave

    C.... S....

    "Go dig me a grave, both long, wide and deep, as quickly as you may." That line always had creepy implications to me.

  60. S.... M....

    Go fetch me a nut

  61. R.... B....

    this is a beautiful song but sad too

  62. B.... ....

    I don't really agree with all these guys stating this is a cover. You can't really "cover" a 600 years old folk song. Because nobody even knows who has originally written it. It's a "version" of that old folk song but the lyrics + the meaning are slightly modified so we should really give ween's interpretation some respect here! You wouldn't call Hendrix' rendition of the Star Spangled Banner a cover either, would you? Or Horowitz playing some Chopin?!

    B.... ....

    BetaErpel deaner shreds Hendrix under the table . Don't even bring that guy up thanks

    B.... ....

    BetaErpel Actually, some lyrics of this song are actually changed, added, and some are even removed. It's a good interpretation.

    B.... ....

    @silver Deaner is absolutely awesome on guitar.
    but he doesn't shred jimi under the table^


    still they play in the same league. gotta say that.

  63. 4.... ....

    It is an english folk ballad originally entitled "Unquiet Grave." Hundreds of years old. It is documented in the Child Ballads collection. A.L Lloyd and Ewan McColl both sang it.

  64. d.... m....

    these lyrics give me goosebumbs, simply brilliant

  65. N.... ....

    can you tell me where I can hear the original?

    N.... ....

    The original is called The Unquiet Grave. Search it out on youtube. There are many versions.

    N.... ....

    The original was over 400 years ago

    N.... ....

    @A Lonely Weeaboo The original is from the 1400's and was found by Francis James Child in 1868

  66. S.... T....

    that sucks...

  67. E.... S....

    best love story ever :,)

  68. N.... C....

    No one knows it's called The Unquiet Grave (copied from wikipedia): "The Unquiet Grave" is an English folk song in which a young man mourns his dead love too hard and prevents her from obtaining peace. It is thought to date from 1400 and was collected in 1868 by Francis James Child, as Child Ballad number 78.

  69. D.... ....

    Who did the original?

    D.... ....

    DarkX64 it's a folk song so no one really knows

  70. G.... ....

    One kiss. One kiss of her lily white lips.

  71. r.... ....

    I first read this poem as "The Unquiet Grave" back in grade school before I had ever heard of Ween (I am 30, btw), and I nearly wet myself with excitement when I listened to this for the first time.

    This is most definitely the best version of this poem, and that means a lot considering this has been my favorite poem long before I had ever heard of Ween.

  72. S.... B....

    no no, you smoked that nug just before you looked at the pic!

  73. P.... K....

    Thought about a divorce yet?

  74. T.... O....

    Claymore - The Unquiet Grave
    best non ween version i have found as of yet, type it in search..

  75. T.... O....

    whats the name of it ?

  76. M.... B....

    no it's not... It's a traditional folk song dating back to the 15th or 16th century.

  77. P.... l....

    this band i loVe very MuchO

  78. T.... O....

    yes it is a cover of a song called "The Unquiet Grave" by Luke Kelly

    T.... O....

    Almost, the song was originally made in 15th century England.

  79. m.... ....

    Is it me or does that looks like a nug of weed?

    m.... ....

    mansondevil33 if your talking about "the molusk" cover art, that must be some heat stressed pure sativa shwag on its last generational leg after being cloned too many times. basically your smoking the inbred child of generations of inbreeding and stressing.

    m.... ....

    I kinda think it looks like a vagina. Hmmn

  80. T.... ....

    Amen primus...thanks for the link

  81. T.... ....

    No, that's correct.

  82. m.... ....

    I tried to have Mr Richard smoker, now I live with a young latino man named Pedro.

  83. c.... ....

    tried to make this my wedding song, wife wouldn't have it

  84. r.... ....

    I will never forget reading this poem in 9th grade English class, and then being completely floored when I first heard this song for the first time in 11th grade. Btw, I'm 29 now.

  85. y.... ....

    @mwells219 you can't trust wikipedia. it's usually right, but it's still user submitted

  86. M.... ....

    @itsthestevo It's a tradtitional folk song, AKA The Unquiet grave. It's about a man mourning his lover to such an extent that her soul can't rest.

  87. D.... ....

    it was a cover of who? been another favorite of mine for about ten years

  88. I.... a....

    "awesome. and surprisingly underrated" - this is what I'm thinking at least about the last 500 vids I saw. So many good bands and singers and noone knows them :S F!"§$%& Mainstream Pop...

  89. d.... ....

    Is this a cover? I dont know alot about Ween.

  90. S.... K....

    WOW really nice

  91. R.... ....

    I was really surprised at this track. Y'know, really quite impressive that Ween could pull off something so sad and somber. They can do anything they goddamn want...

  92. j.... c....

    2nd comment nice love ween
