[1] Now some folks like the summertime when the they can walk [4] about
[5] Strolling through the meadow green it's pleasant there no [1] doubt
But give me the wintertime when the snow is on the [4] ground
For I [5] found her when the snow on the [1] ground

[1] I traced her little footprints in the [5] snow
I found her little footprints in the [1] snow lord
I bless that happy day that Nellie lost her [4] way
For I [5] found her when the snow was on the [1] ground

I dropped in to see her there was a big round moon
Her mother said she just stepped out but would be returning soon
I found her little footprints and I traced them in the snow
I found her when the snow was on the ground

Now she's up in heaven she's with the angel band
I know I'm going to meet her in that promised land
But every time the snow falls it brings back memories
For I found her when the snow was on the ground
