Well, some folks like the summertime when they can walk about
Strollin' through the meadow green, well, it's pleasant, 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 Momma 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
