Folk & Traditional Song Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk January Man 
January Man Dave Goulder 
Oh the January man he walks abroad in woollen coat and boots of leather 
The February man still wipes 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
