Big Blizzard Lyrics

(Don Wayne)

It was in the dead of winter
Oh, how well I can remember
That day of howling wind and blinding snow
A neighbor came and as we listened
He said two small boys were missin'
And they'd surely die if lost out in the snow.

Papa tried to organize a searching party
Folks all said it would be fool-hardly
To look for them until the storm died down
Papa left me and my mama cryin'
And went out alone to find them
On the day the big blizzard hit our town.

Next day when the storm was over
The search party soon discoveredJustin Tubb - Big Blizzard - http://motolyrics.com/justin-tubb/big-blizzard-lyrics.html
Papa's frozen body lying in the snow
They picked him up and there beneath him
Were the frightened hungry children
Wrapped up safe and tight in papa's overcoat.

The youngsters told how papa found them
How he wrapped his coat around them
And he rubbed their bodies till they felt all warm
Then he said boys lie here beneath me
And if I should go to sleep just stay away
And you'll be safe here from the storm.

Papa tried to organize a searching party
Folks all said it would be fool-hardly
To look for them until the storm died down
Papa left me and my mama cryin'
And went out alone to find them
On the day the big blizzard hit our town...
