Lyrics
Snow on the Ground
Words and music by Mark Nesmith
Woke up this morning, snow was on the ground
Woke up this morning, snow was on the ground
My bed was empty, my baby can’t be found
Ain’t got not coat, ain’t got no gloves to wear
Ain’t got not coat, ain’t got no gloves to wear
No electricity, can’t find that woman no where
No wood for a fire, holes in the blanket on my bed
No wood for a fire, holes in the blanket on my bed
Lord I’m so hungry, my kitchen cupboards are bare
Can’t feel my fingers, my feet and toes are numb
Can’t feel my fingers, my feet and toes are numb
No warm lovin’ woman, Lord I think my time has come
If you walk on ice, you’re just as well to dance
If you walk on ice, you’re just as well to dance
With a heart so cold, good love ain’t got no chance
Woke up this morning, snow was on the ground
Woke up this morning, snow was on the ground
My bed was empty, my baby can’t be found
