Footprints In The Snow

Ry Cooder, Bill Monroe

[Verse 1]
Well, some folks like the summertime they can walk about
Strolling through the meadow green, it's pleasant there's no doubt
But to me the wintertime is the best of all
'Cause I found her when the snow was on the ground

[Chorus]
Now, I traced her little footprints in the snow
I found her little footprints in the snow
I bless that happy day when Nellie lost her way
'Cause I found her when the snow was on the ground

[Verse 2]
Now the Ladies Garment Workers walked out last wintertime
One little union kitty was a dear sweetheart of mine
She walked around all winter on the picket line
But I found her when the snow was on the ground

[Verse 3]
Now, the Union Strike Committee didn't like me hangin' round:
Don't interfere with sisters while the strike is on
Don't go around behaving like a ring-tailed tom
But I found her when the snow was on the ground

[Chorus]
'Cause I traced her little footprints in the snow
I found her little footprints in the snow
And I bless that happy day when Nellie lost her way
'Cause I found her when the snow was on the ground

[Accordion and Banjo Solos]

[Verse 4]
She's somewhere out there marching with the union band
We'll get back together when the pension check comes in
But every time the snow falls, it brings back memories
'Cause I found here when the snow was on the ground

[Chorus]
I traced her little footprints in the snow
Yah, I found her little footprints in the snow
I bless that happy day when Nellie lost her way
'Cause I found her when the snow was on the ground
