Greta Van Fleet – The Cold Wind lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh sweet mama, lay me down in my grave
Leave me baby, I’m too far gone to save
The snow is comin’, all the village folk know
This wicked shiver, chills me down to my soul

[Chorus]
Only time will tell
Take the ox to town and you can sell
And leave me in my bed
Today

[Verse 2]
The Yankee peddler bargains with you on his way
Woe sweet mama’s gotten herself a new dray
Keep the children snug as the wagon rolls on
When the cold wind blows most of them will be gone

[Chorus]
Only time can tell
Take the ox to town and I’ll get well
And leave me in my bed
Today

Only time will tell
You take the ox to town and you can sell
And leave me in my bed
Today

    In a metaphorical situation, a man in id say the 1700's, is asking his wife to have him stay at home because hes sick and she can "take the ox to town and you can sell" and "only time will tell" till the town and the man get better. I say the town because it says: "keep the children snug as the wagon rolls on; when the cold wind blows most of them will be gone".
