Justin Tubb - Big Blizzard lyrics

rate me

(Don Wayne)

It was in the dead of winter

Oh, how well I can remember

That day of howling wind and blinding snow

A neighbor came and as we listened

He said two small boys were missin'

And they'd surely die if lost out in the snow.

Papa tried to organize a searching party

Folks all said it would be fool-hardly

To look for them until the storm died down

Papa left me and my mama cryin'

And went out alone to find them

On the day the big blizzard hit our town.

Next day when the storm was over

The search party soon discovered

Papa's frozen body lying in the snow

They picked him up and there beneath him

Were the frightened hungry children

Wrapped up safe and tight in papa's overcoat.

The youngsters told how papa found them

How he wrapped his coat around them

And he rubbed their bodies till they felt all warm

Then he said boys lie here beneath me

And if I should go to sleep just stay away

And you'll be safe here from the storm.

Papa tried to organize a searching party

Folks all said it would be fool-hardly

To look for them until the storm died down

Papa left me and my mama cryin'

And went out alone to find them

On the day the big blizzard hit our town...
