lyrics

Why do you fret Rabbie my son?
Why do you fret my favourite one
I dream of a future where nothing is broke
Morality counts when complicity chokes
Beauty it triumphs on modernity’s patch
Truth it abounds for conceit is no match
There’s a cold, cold, cold wind blowin’ outside

What will you do Rabbie my son?
What will you do my favourite one?
I’ll fix what I can and leave what I can’t
Think for myself and always gives thanks
Sharpen my senses in the midst of the fog
Trust in the power of life’s daily slog
There’s a cold, cold, cold wind blowin’ outside

How can I help Rabbie my son?
How can I help my favourite one?
Catch me a dove to fly all around
Make me a bed when I want to lie down
Stitch me a coat full of colours so bright
So I can still dream in the dark of the night
There’s a cold, cold, cold wind blowin’ outside
