The winter wind is blowing strong 
My hands have got no gloves 
I wish to my soul that I could see 
The boy I’m thinking of 
Don’t you remember me babe 
I remember you quite well 
Caused me to leave my happy home 
For the darkness on that trail 
Darkness on the trail boys 
Darkness on my trail 
All because I’m falling for 
A curly-headed blue-eyed bell 

Who’s gonna stroke your thick brown hair 
And sing to your ruddy skin 
Who’s gonna kiss my California lips 
When I’m out in the wind 
When I’m out in the wind babe 
When I’m out in the wind 
Who’s gonna kiss my California lips 
When I’m out in the wind 

Who’s gonna walk you side by side 
And tell you everything is alright 
Who’s gonna sing to you all day long 
And not just in the night 
Who’s gonna walk you side by side 
Who’s gonna by my man 
Who’s gonna look you straight in the eye 
And hold your bad luck hand 
Hold your bad luck hand babe 
Hold your bad luck hand 
Who’s gonna hold your hard luck hand 
Who’s gonna be my man 

The winter wind is blowing strong 
My hands have got no gloves 
I wish to my soul that I could see 
The boy I’m thinking of
