Footprints in the Snow

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

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