Snowing on Raton |
| When the wind don’t blow in Amarillo |
| And the moon along the Gunnison don’t rise |
| Shall I cast my dreams upon your love, babe |
| And lie beneath the laughter of your eyes |
| It’s snowin' on Raton |
| Come morning 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 |
| Little darling thinks the road is soft and lovely |
| I’m thankful that old road is a friend of mine |
| Bid the years good-bye you cannot still them |
| You cannot turn the circles of the sun |
| You cannot count the miles until you feel them |
| And you cannot hold a lover that is gone |
| Tomorrow the mountains will be sleeping |
| Silently the blanket green and blue |
| All that I shall hear the silence they are keeping |
| I’ll bring all their promises to you |
