	This song is supposedly based on a traditional Chinese song. The lyrics are pretty self-explanatory.

	Just to correct/contradict the 'traditional Chinese spiritual' myth perpetuated all over the internet, 'Cold Blows The Wind' is a (probably late-medieval) English folk tune. There are printed lyrics in the Oxford university Bodleyan library as far back as 1435. It was collected in F. J. Child's 1886 compendium of English and Scottish folk ballads as 'The Unquiet Grave'. Versions aside from Ween's have been recorded by Anne Briggs, Joan Baez, Papa M and others.

	According to "All Request Live" this song is "about a dead bitch". Straight from Deaner's mouth.

	Yeah, in the sleeve notes of the Mollusk, it's credited as a "Chinese Spiritual". But it is indeed a British folk song, and you can hear many versions of it on the folk circuit over here. Not sure why Ween have credited it the way they have.

	i'm not sure how much credence to give the 'chinese traditional song' description (probably none). but i'm pretty sure that in the liner notes of 'the mollusk' the song is descibed as such. one more instance of the boys pissing about?
