Don't forbid me to hold you tight
A-darlin', don't forbid me to hold you tight
Let me hold you in my lovin' arms
'Cause it's cold and I can keep you warm

A-don't-a forbid me to kiss your lips
A-darlin', don't forbid me to kiss your lips
Let me kiss you, please, baby, please
'Cause it's cold and your lips might freeze

Well, there's a strong West wind a-blowin'
And there's a big blue moon above
And, pretty baby, I've been knowin'
You need some heart-warmin' love

So don't-a forbid me to talk sweet talk
A-Darlin', don't forbid me to talk sweet talk
Let-a me fill your little heart with fire
'Cause it's cold, so don't forbid my desire

It's so cold (it's so cold)
So don't forbid-a my desire
(Don't forbid my desire)

As recorded by ERNEST TUBB:


Now don't forbid me to hold you tight
My darling, don't forbid me to hold you tight
Let me hold you in my loving arms
'Cause it's cold and I can keep you warm

Now, don't forbid me to kiss your lips
My darling, don't forbid me to kiss your lips
Let me kiss you please, baby, please
'Cause it's cold and your lips might freeze

Well, there's a strong west wind a-blowin'
There's a big blue moon above
And pretty babe, then I'll be knowing
You need some hard warmin' love

So don't forbid me to talk sweet talk
Baby, don't forbid me to talk sweet talk
Let me fill your little heart with fire
'Cause it's cold and you might desire

[Guitar Break)

Well, there's a strong west wind a-blowin'
There's a big blue moon above
And pretty babe, then I'll be knowing
You need some hard warmin' love

So don't forbid me to hold you tight
My darling, don't forbid me to hold you tight
Let me hold you in my lovin' arms
'Cause it's cold, oh so cold,
And I can keep you warm
