The Blizzard

C C7 F C

There's a blizard comming on, how I'm wishing I was home,

C G

for my pony's lame, and he can hardly stand.

C C7 F C

Listen to that norther sigh, if we don't get home we'll die.

G Am

But it's only seven miles to Mary Ann's.

G C

It's only seven miles to Mary Ann's.

C C7 F C

You can bet we're on her mind, for it's nearly supertime

C G

and I'll bet there's hot bisquets in the pan.

C C7 F C

Lord my hands feel like there froze, and there's a numbness in my toes.

G Am

But it's only five more miles to Mary Ann's.

G C

It's only five more miles to Mary Ann's.

C C7 F C

That wind's howling and it seems mighty like a woman's scream.

C G

And we'd best abe moving faster if we can.

C C7 F C

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

G Am

For it's only more miles to Mary Ann's,

G C

It's only three more miles to Mary Ann's.

(Talk--chord in background)

Dan get up you ornery cuss, or you'll be the death of us.

I'm so weary, but I'll help you if I can.

Alright dan, perhaps it's best, if we stop a while and rest.

For it's still a hundred yards to Mary Ann's.

It's still a hundred yards to Mary Ann's.

(Talk--chord in background.)

Late that night the storm was gone, the found him there at dawn.

He'd-a-made it but he just couldn't leave old Dan.

Yes they found him there on the plains, hands froze to the reigns.

He was just a hundred yards form Mary Ann's.

G C

He was just a hundred yards from Mary Ann's.
