Now some folks like the summertime when the they can walk about Strolling through the meadow green it's pleasant, there no doubt But give me the wintertime when the snow is on the ground For I found her when the snow was on the ground
I traced her little footprints in the snow I found her little footprints in the snow, oh Lord I bless that happy day when Nellie lost her way For I found her when the snow was on the ground
~~~~♫♫♫ ~~~~ I dropped in to see her there was a big round moon Her mother said she just stepped out but would be returning soon I found her little footprints and I traced them in the snow I found her when the snow was on the ground
I traced her little footprints in the snow I found her little footprints in the snow, oh Lord I bless that happy day when Nellie lost her way For I found her when the snow was on the ground
~~~~♫♫♫ ~~~~ Now she's up in heaven she's with the angel band I know I'm going to see her in that promised land But every time the snow falls it brings back memories For I found her when the snow was on the ground
I traced her little footprints in the snow I found her little footprints in the snow, oh Lord I bless that happy day when Nellie lost her way For I found her when the snow was on the ground
