Have you ever heard the wind go YoooooA
'T is a pitiful sound to hearB
It seems to chill you through and throughC
With a strange and speechless fearD
'T is the voice of the night that broods outsideE
When folk should be asleepF
And many and many's the time I've criedE
To the darkness brooding far and wideE
Over the land and the deepF
Whom do you want O lonely nightG
That you wail the long hours throughC
And the night would say in its ghostly wayH
YooooooooA
YooooooooA
YooooooooA
-
My mother told me long agoI
When I was a little tadJ
That when the night went wailing soI
Somebody had been badJ
And then when I was snug in bedK
Whither I had been sentL
With the blankets pulled up round my headK
I'd think of what my mother'd saidK
And wonder what boy she meantL
And Who's been bad to day I'd askM
Of the wind that hoarsely blewC
And the voice would say in its meaningful wayH
YooooooooA
YooooooooA
YooooooooA
-
That this was true I must allowN
You'll not believe it thoughI
Yes though I'm quite a model nowN
I was not always soI
And if you doubt what things I sayH
Suppose you make the testO
Suppose when you've been bad some dayH
And up to bed are sent awayH
From mother and the restO
Suppose you ask Who has been badJ
And then you'll hear what's trueC
For the wind will moan in its ruefulest toneP
YooooooooA
YooooooooA
YooooooooA
