The Blizzard

	  		          D                          G             D 
There's a blizzard comin' on and I'm wishin' I was home 
       D                               A 
For my pony's lame and he can't hardly stand 
       D                          G                    D 
Listen to that norther sigh if we don't get home we'll die 
         A                        Bm         A                        D 
But it's only seven miles to Mary Anne, it's only seven miles to Mary Anne 
 
 
Spoken the rest of the way: 
You can bet we're on her mind for it's gettin' just about suppertime 
Oh I know those hot biscuits're in the fryin' pan 
Lord my hands feel like they're froze and there's a numbness in my toes 
But it's only five more miles to Mary Anne it's only five more miles to Mary Anne 
 
That wind's a howlin' and it seems mighty like a woman's screams 
And we'd best be movin' faster if we can 
Dan just think about that barn with all that hay so soft and warm 
It's only three more miles to Mary Anne it's only three more miles to Mary Anne 
 
Dan get up your ornery 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 stop just a little while and rest 
For it's still another mile to Mary Anne it's still another mile to Mary Anne 
 
Late that night the storm was gone and they found him there at dawn 
He'd have made it but he couldn't leave ol' Dan 
Yes they found him out there on the plains his hands were frozen to the reins 
He was just a hundred yards from Mary Anne 
He was just a hundred yards from Mary Anne
