| There’s a blizard coming on, how I’m wishing I was home
|
| For my pony’s lame, and he can hardly stand
|
| Listen to that norther sigh, if we don’t get home we’ll die
|
| But, it’s only seven miles to Mary Ann’s
|
| It’s only seven miles to Mary Ann’s
|
| You can bet we’re on her mind, for it’s nearly supertime
|
| And I’ll bet there’s hot bisquets in the pan
|
| Lord, my hands feel like there froze
|
| And there’s a numbness in my toes
|
| But, it’s only five more miles to Mary Ann’s
|
| It’s only five more miles to Mary Ann’s
|
| That wind’s howling and it seems
|
| Mighty like a woman’s scream
|
| And we’d best be moving faster if we can
|
| Dan just think about that barn
|
| With the hay so soft and warm
|
| For it’s only more miles to Mary Ann’s
|
| It’s only three more miles to Mary Ann’s
|
| Dan get up you ornery cuss, or you’ll be the death of us
|
| I’m so weary, but I’ll help you if I can
|
| Alright Dan, perhaps it’s best, if we stop a while and rest
|
| For it’s still a hundred yards to Mary Ann’s
|
| (Sang)
|
| It’s still a hundred yards to Mary Ann’s
|
| Late that night the storm was gone
|
| They found him there at dawn
|
| He’d-a-made it but he just couldn’t leave old Dan
|
| Yes, they found him there on the plains
|
| Hands froze to the reigns
|
| He was just a hundred yards form Mary Ann’s
|
| (Sang)
|
| He was just a hundred yards from Mary Ann’s… |
