Original Version
- Cold is the man who can't love,
- Fa la la la la, la la la la,
- The old mountains of dear Wales,
- Fa la la la la, la la la la,
- To him and his warmest friend,
- Fa la la, la la la, la la la,
- A cheerful holiday next year,
- Fa la la la la, la la la la.
- Cold is the snow on Mount Snowdon,
- Fa la la la la, la la la la,
- Even though it has a flannel blanket on it,
- Fa la la la la, la la la la,
- Cold are the people who don't care,
- Fa la la, la la la, la la la,
- To meet together on New Year's Eve,
- Fa la la la la, la la la la.
