I talked with a stranger so sad and forlorn
G7
C
His garments were sackcloth all tattered and torn
C7
F
He told me a story of sorrow and woe
C
G7
C
His heart went to heaven at the first fall of snow
C7
F
He spoke of his angel a dear baby girl
G7
C
He loved every footstep he loved every curl
C7
F
But she went to heaven just one year ago
C
G7
C
The angels came for her at the first fall of snow
C7
F
He still had the dolly that she used to love
G7
C
He held and caressed it and gazed up above
C7
F
He whispered my baby you’re waiting I know
C
G7
C
I’ll bring you your dolly at the first fall of snow
C7
F
And there as I listened my eyes filled with tears
G7
C
I knew she was part of his happier years
C7
F
His frail body trembled he spoke soft and low
C
G7
C
I’ll be with my baby at the first fall of snow
C7
F
I patted his shoulder my feelings to hide
G7
C
He couldn’t know I was crying inside
C7
F
He smiled as we parted cause he didn’t know
C
G7
C
That we lost our baby at the first fall of snow
