Hank Snow At The First Fall Of Snow Lyrics

At The First Fall Of Snow Lyrics

I talked with a stranger so sad and forlorn

His garments were sack cloth all tattered and town

He told me a story of sorrow and woe

His heart went to heaven at the first fall of snow



He spoke of his angel a dear baby girl

He loved every footstep he loved every curl

But she went to heaven just one year ago

The angels came for her at the first fall of snow



He still have the dolly that she used to love

He held and caressed it and he gazed up above

He whispered my darling you're waiting I know

I'll bring you your dolly at the first fall of snow

[ fiddle ]

And there as I listened then my eyes filled with tears

I knew she was part of his happier years

His frail body trembled he spoke soft and low

I'll be with my darling at the first fall of snow



I just couldn't tell him how I felt inside

I patted his shoulder my feelings to hide

He smiled as we partred cause he didn't know

That we'd lost our darling at the first fall of snow
