C
It’s snowing out there in the gloaming
F
I’ve sat here and watched it all night
G7
The kids will be thrilled when they waken
C
And look at the fields deep and white
F
For he hated the snow and the cold
G7
Now he lies in a grave back in Knoxville
C
With a headstone that’s just one year old
F
So the flowers around him can grow
G7
For I can’t stand the thought of my darling
C
Lying there in the deepening snow
F
Saying mommy what causes the snow
G7
And I tell of the wonderful father
C
Who cares for us all here below
F
And he kissing back doesn’t know
G7
That my kiss is meant for his daddy
C
Lying there in the deepening snow
F
So the flowers around him can grow
G7
For I can’t stand the thought of my darling
C
Lying there in the deepening snow
G7
C
Out there in the deepening snow
C
F
G7
