Christy Moore - January Man lyrics
[Christy Moore - January Man lyrics]
The January man he goes around in
Woollen coat and boots of leather
The February man still shakes the snow from
Of his clothes and blows his hands
The man of March he sees the Spring
And wonders what the year will bring
And hopes for better weather
Through April rain the man goes down to watch
The birds come in to share the summer
The man of May stands very still to
Watch the children dance away the day
In June the man inside the man is
Young and wants to lend a hand
And smiles at each new comer
In July the man in cotton short he
Sit's and thinks and being idle
The August man in thousands takes the road to
Find the sun and watch the sea
September man is standing near to
Saddle up another year
And Autumn is his bridle
The man of new October takes the rain
And early frost is on his shoulder
The poor November man sees fire and mist
And wind and rain and winter ere
December man looks through the snow
To let eleven brothers know
They're all a little older
The January man he comes around again
In coat and boots of leather
To take another turn and walk along the
Icy roads he knows so well
The January man is here the start
Of each and every year
Along the road forever
Woollen coat and boots of leather
The February man still shakes the snow from
Of his clothes and blows his hands
The man of March he sees the Spring
And wonders what the year will bring
And hopes for better weather
Through April rain the man goes down to watch
The birds come in to share the summer
The man of May stands very still to
Watch the children dance away the day
In June the man inside the man is
Young and wants to lend a hand
And smiles at each new comer
In July the man in cotton short he
Sit's and thinks and being idle
The August man in thousands takes the road to
Find the sun and watch the sea
September man is standing near to
Saddle up another year
And Autumn is his bridle
The man of new October takes the rain
And early frost is on his shoulder
The poor November man sees fire and mist
And wind and rain and winter ere
December man looks through the snow
To let eleven brothers know
They're all a little older
The January man he comes around again
In coat and boots of leather
To take another turn and walk along the
Icy roads he knows so well
The January man is here the start
Of each and every year
Along the road forever
