Johnny Cash The Blizzard song lyrics

There's a blizzard coming on and I'm wishing I was home

For my pony's lame and he can't hardly stand

Lord my hands feel like their froze and there's a numb that's in my toes

But it's only seven miles to Maryanne

It's only seven miles to MaryAnne

You can bet we're on her mind for it's nearly suppertime

And I know that there's hot biscuits in the pan

Listen to that norther sigh if we don't get home we'll die

But it's only five more miles to Maryanne

It's only five more miles to MaryAnne

That wind's howling and it seems mighty like a women's scream

And we'd best be moving faster, if we can

Dan, just think about that barn with that hay so soft and warm

It's only three more miles to Maryanne

It's only three more miles to MaryAnne

Come on Dan get up, you honory cuss or you'll be the death of us

I'm so weary but I'll help you, if I can

All right, Dan, perhaps it's best we'll just stop a while and rest

For it's still another mile to Maryanne

It's still another mile to MaryAnne

Late that night the storm was gone and they found him there at dawn

He'd made it but he couldn't leave ol' Dan

Yes, they found him on the plains his hands frozen to the reigns

He was just a hundred yards from Maryanne

He was just a hundred yards from MaryAnne
