Rose Maddox - At The First Fall Of Snow lyrics

I talked with a stranger so sad and forlorn His garments were wrinkled all tattered and town He told me a story of sorrow and woe his heart met to heaven at the first fall of snow He spoke of his angel a dear baby girl he loved every footstep he loved every curle But she went to heaven just one year ago The angels came for her at the first fall of snow [ guitar ] He still have the dolly that she used to love He held and caressed it and gazed up above He whispered my darling you're waiting I know I'll bring you your dolly at the first fall of snow I just couldn't tell him how I'd felt inside I patted his shoulder my feelings to hide He smiled as we partred but he didn't know That we lost our darling at the first fall of snow
