Some folks like the summertime
when they can walk about
Strolling through the meadow´s green
it´s pleasant there no doubt
But give me the winter when snow
is on the ground
I found her when the snow was on the ground.
I found her footprints in the snow
I traced her footprints in the snow
Bless that happy day that Nellie lost her way
I found her when the snow was on the ground
I dropped in to see her
there was a big round moon
Her mother said she just stepped out
but be returning soon
I found her little footprints
and traced them through the snow
I found her when the snow was on the ground
I found her footprints in the snow
I traced her footprints in the snow
Bless the happy day that Nellie lost her way
I found her when the snow was on the ground
