Snowin' on Raton

5 1

When the wind don’t blow in Amarillo

5 1

And the moon along the Gunnison don’t rise

4 1

Shall I cast my dreams upon your love babe

5 1

And lie beneath the laughter of your eyes

1 4 1

It was snowin’ on Raton

5 4 1

Come mornin’ I’ll be through them hills and gone

Mother thinks the road is long and lonely

Little brother thinks the road is straight and fine

And my darling thinks the road is soft and lovely

I’m thankful that old road’s a friend of mine

Bid the years goodbye you can’t still them

No you can’t turn the circles of the sun

And you can’t count the miles until you feel them

And you sure can’t hold a lover that is gone

Tomorrow the mountains will be sleeping

Silent ‘neath a blanket green and blue

All I shall hear the silence that they are keeping

And I’ll bring all the promises to you
