Well, some folks like the summertime

When they can walk about

Strollin' through the meadow green

Well, it's plesant, there's no doubt

Give me the wintertime when

The snow is on the ground

'Cause I found her when

The snow was on the ground



I found a-little footprints in the snow-ow-ow-low-ow

Found a-little footprints in the snow-ow-ow-low-ow

Bless that happy day that Nellie lost her way

'Cause I found her when

The snow was on the ground



When I dropped in to see her

Was a yellow moon

Her Mamma said, she just stepped out

Be returnin' soon-on

I found her little footprints

And I traced them through the snow

And I found her when

The snow was on the ground



I found a-little footprints in the snow-ow-ow-low-ow

Found a-little footprints in the snow-ow-ow-low-ow

Bless that happy day that Nellie lost her way

Why?, 'cause I found her when

The snow was on the ground



Well, now she's up in Heaven

With an angel band

I know I'm gonna see her

In that promised land

Every time the snow falls

Well, it brings back memories

I found her when

The snow was on the ground



I found a-little footprints in the snow-ow-ow-low-ow

Found a-little footprints in the snow-ow-ow-low-ow

Bless that happy day that Nellie lost her way

'Cause I found her when

The snow was on the ground
