The leaves are like teardrops
In the fall of the year
A pale blanket of colour
As winter draws near
When the cold starts to set in
We sit huddled inside
Me and my friends here
Cold ginger and rye
As Jack Frost whiles his time away
Outside in the snow
We keep the fire stoked
To fend off the cold
There’s so many worse ways
We could pass the time
Me and my friends here
Cold ginger and rye
And we dream all our old dreams
And even some new
And we share all our secrets
And a few laughs too
All we need is each other
To keep our spirits high
Me and my friends here
Cold ginger and rye
So here’s to my old chums
Companions and friends
With me on this journey
From now to the end
My steadfast silent partners
‘Till the day that I die
Raise a glass to my friends here
Cold ginger and rye
Raise a glass to my friends here
Cold ginger and rye
In the fall of the year
A pale blanket of colour
As winter draws near
When the cold starts to set in
We sit huddled inside
Me and my friends here
Cold ginger and rye
As Jack Frost whiles his time away
Outside in the snow
We keep the fire stoked
To fend off the cold
There’s so many worse ways
We could pass the time
Me and my friends here
Cold ginger and rye
And we dream all our old dreams
And even some new
And we share all our secrets
And a few laughs too
All we need is each other
To keep our spirits high

Cold ginger and rye
So here’s to my old chums
Companions and friends

Cold ginger and rye
Raise a glass to my friends here
