A very pretty (in the best sense of the word) tune and rustic lyrics.

about
Ho, bloody Ho! Winter is upon us once again, so it would be amiss of us not to provide you with some cheap-to-free music to hunt orcs and sip whiskey to!
We knocked this song up in an afternoon as a nice little winter warmer which has a positive message for these (seemingly) dark times we live in!
As usual with our Festive titbits, you can choose to pay what you want - simply choose "£0" for a free Yuletide present from us to you, alternatively you can opt to leave us a little gift of your own (a pint is about £3.50 in Dean's town...)
We hope you all have a great holiday period! Stay safe, stay warm, drink lots of hearty ale and eat as much roasted bird carcass as possible!
Thanks for supporting us throughout 2016 - what a year for the Fist!
CHEERS GUYS!

lyrics
Mother wolf, she hunts through woods
Sunken paw in snow-scarred land
Jack Frost prancing through the trees
A spirit of an ancient past
But the fire inside is warm,
and the ale inside you soothes your soul
A pedlar knocking at your door
A gypsy crone to fortunes tell
To heal your needs with poisoned weeds,
snake oils and mystic spells
But the fire inside is warm,
and the ale inside you soothes your soul
The wind it blows through bark and stone
shakes bones laid underground
The old man caught out in the cold; lay him down
But the fire inside is warm,
and the ale inside you soothes your soul
A woodsman's hearth, to ease his woes,
is a joy for every man
So let Peace in out from the cold;
greet it with an open hand
When the fire inside is warm
and the ale inside you soothes your soul
and the fire inside is warm
and the ale inside you soothes your soul
Sunken paw in snow-scarred land
Jack Frost prancing through the trees
A spirit of an ancient past
But the fire inside is warm,
and the ale inside you soothes your soul
A pedlar knocking at your door
A gypsy crone to fortunes tell
To heal your needs with poisoned weeds,
snake oils and mystic spells
But the fire inside is warm,
and the ale inside you soothes your soul
The wind it blows through bark and stone
shakes bones laid underground
The old man caught out in the cold; lay him down
But the fire inside is warm,
and the ale inside you soothes your soul
A woodsman's hearth, to ease his woes,
is a joy for every man
So let Peace in out from the cold;
greet it with an open hand
When the fire inside is warm
and the ale inside you soothes your soul
and the fire inside is warm
and the ale inside you soothes your soul
