The Blizzard

[Verse 1]

There's a blizzard comin' on

How I'm wishing 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

[Chorus]

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 Christmastime

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

[Chorus]

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 the barn

With the hay so soft and warm

[Chorus]

It's only three more miles to Mary Anne

It's only three more miles to Mary Anne

[Verse 4]

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

That we stop awhile and rest

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

He was just a hundred yards from Mary Anne

He was just a hundred yards from Mary Anne
