The Blizzard Lyrics


There's a blizzard comin' on
How I'm wishin' I was home
For my ponys lame and he can't hardly stand
Listen to that norther sigh
If we don't get home well die
But its only seven miles to Mary Ann
Its only seven miles to Mary Ann
You can bet were on her mind
For its nearly supper time
And Ill bet there's hot biscuits in the pan
Lord my hands feel like they're froze
And there's a numbness in my toes
But its only five more miles to Mary Ann
Its only five more miles to Mary Ann
That winds howlin' and it seems
Mighty like a woman screams

And wed best be movin' faster if we can
Dan, just think about that barn
With that hay so soft and warm
For its only three more miles to Mary Ann
Its only three more miles to Mary Ann
Dan, get up, you ornery cuss
Or you'll be the death of us
I'm so weary, but Ill help ya if I can
Alright Dan, perhaps its best
That we stop a while and rest
For its still a hundred yards to Mary Ann
Its still a hundred yards to Mary Ann
Late that night the storm was gone
And they found him there at dawn
He'd-a-made it but he just couldnt leave old Dan
Yes they found him there on the plains
His hands froze to the reigns
He was just a hundred yards form Mary Ann
He was just a hundred yards from Mary Ann

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Jim Reeves (1923 - 1964), known affectionately as 'Gentleman Jim', was a country singer known for his velvety voice. Through his unique style, which fused the laidback style of crooners such as Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby with country material, he brought country music to a whole new audience. He was also one of the first to bring country music to places outside of America, gaining widespread popularity in Britain, Europe, South Africa and India.

His prolific career was cut tragically short in 1964 by a plane crash. However, even after his death, his popularity did not wane and he continued to have hits some years after his death, with previously unreleased songs and remastered earlier material.

Added 01: One interesting fact was that he recorded an album in Afrikaans for Afrikaners in South Africa. How do I know? I bought the LP many years ago.
