REYNARDINE THE JANUARY MAN LYRICS

 
The January man
he walks abroad in woollen coat
and boots of leather

The February man
still shakes the snow from off his hair and blows his hand

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
watching the children dance away the day

In June the man inside the man
is young and wants to lend a hand
And grins at each new comer

And in July the man
in cotton shirts he sits and thinks
on being idle

The August man in thousands take the road and watch the sea and find the sun

September man is standing near
to saddle up and lead the year
And Autumn is his bridle

The man of new October
takes the reins and early frost
is on his shoulder

The poor November man sees fire and wind and mist and rain and winter air

December man looks through the snow
to let eleven brothers know
They're all a little older

And the January man comes round again
in woollen coat and boots of leather
To take another turn and walk along the icy road he knows so well
The January man is here
for starting each and every year
Along the way for ever
