Folk and Traditional Song Lyrics:
Footprints in the Snow
Footprints in the Snow
Footprints in the Snow
C
Now some folks like the summertime
F
When they can walk about
G7
Strolling through the meadow green
C
It's pleasant there, no doubt
But give me the wintertime
F
When the snow is on the ground
G7 G7C
I found her when the snow was on the ground.
(Chorus)
C G7
I traced her little footprints in the snow
C
I found her little footprints in the snow
F
Bless that happy day when Nellie lost her way
G7 C
I found her when the snow was on the ground.
I went out 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.
Now she's up in heaven
She's with the angel band
I know I'm going to meet her
In that promised land
Everytime the snow falls
It brings back memories
I found her when the snow
Was on the ground.
