Well, the snow is deep, the wind is cold
Well, the snow is deep, the wind is cold
And the leaves are on the ground,
And the leaves are on the ground,
I guess we'll have to hibernate
I guess we'll have to hibernate
Till springtime comes around.
Till springtime comes around.
The cattle, on the meadow now,
The cattle, on the meadow now,
Are looking hard for hay,
Are looking hard for hay,
And the horses, they just stand around
And the horses, they just stand around
When sunshine comes their way.
When sunshine comes their way.
The snowy crystals in the trees,
The snowy crystals in the trees,
When the clouds have gone away,
When the clouds have gone away,
They shine like tiny diamonds
They shine like tiny diamonds
In the wonderous light of day.
In the wonderous light of day.
The coyotes, they're a hunting
The coyotes, they're a hunting
And the quail are coveyed up,
And the quail are coveyed up,
And the coffee that's been brewing
And the coffee that's been brewing
Is now warming up the cup.
Is now warming up the cup.
The horses, they're all harnessed
The horses, they're all harnessed
And I'm a waiting on the crew,
And I'm a waiting on the crew,
To pitch the hay and milk the cow
To pitch the hay and milk the cow
And do the things hands do.
And do the things hands do.
And we'll keep the shovels handy
And we'll keep the shovels handy
When nature throws another fit,
When nature throws another fit,
And I think that I'll stop shavin'
And I think that I'll stop shavin'
Till the weather warms a bit.
Till the weather warms a bit.
