Well, some folks like the summertime   When they can walk about   Strollin' through the meadow green   Well, it's plesant, there's no doubt   Give me the wintertime when   The snow is on the ground   'Cause I found her when   The snow was on the ground      I found a-little footprints in the snow-ow-ow-low-ow   Found a-little footprints in the snow-ow-ow-low-ow   Bless that happy day that Nellie lost her way   'Cause I found her when   The snow was on the ground      When I dropped in to see her   Was a yellow moon   Her Mamma said, she just stepped out   Be returnin' soon-on   I found her little footprints   And I traced them through the snow   And I found her when   The snow was on the ground      I found a-little footprints in the snow-ow-ow-low-ow   Found a-little footprints in the snow-ow-ow-low-ow   Bless that happy day that Nellie lost her way   Why?, 'cause I found her when   The snow was on the ground      Well, now she's up in Heaven   With an angel band   I know I'm gonna see her   In that promised land   Every time the snow falls   Well, it brings back memories   I found her when   The snow was on the ground      I found a-little footprints in the snow-ow-ow-low-ow   Found a-little footprints in the snow-ow-ow-low-ow   Bless that happy day that Nellie lost her way   'Cause I found her when   The snow was on the ground
