The Blizzard

Intro




verse 1

There s a blizzard comin on how I m wishin I was home

For my pony s lame and he can t hardly stand

Listen to that northern sigh if we don t get home we ll die

But it s only seven miles to Mary Anne

It s only seven miles to Mary Anne


verse 2

You can bet we re on her mind for it s nearly Christmas time

And I ll bet there s hot biscuits in the pan

Lord my hands feel like they re froze and there s a numbness in my toes

But it s only five more miles to Mary Anne

It s only five more miles to Mary Anne


verse 3

That wind s howlin and it seems mighty like a woman s screams

So we d best be movin faster if we can

Dan just think about that barn with that hay so soft and warm

It s only three more miles to Mary Anne

It s only three more miles to Mary Anne


verse 4

Dan get up your ornery cuss or you ll be the death of us

I m so weary but I ll help you if I can

All right Dan perhaps it s best that we ll stop awhile and rest

For it s still A hundred yards to Mary Anne

It s still a hundred yards to Mary Anne


Verse 5

Late that night the storm was gone and they found him there at dawn

He had made it but he couldn t leave ol Dan

Yes they found him there on the plains his hands froze to the reins

He was just a hundred yards from Mary Anne

He was just a hundred yards from Mary Anne
