Some folks like the summertime when they can walk about
Strollin' through the meadow green it's fun there's no doubt
But just give me the wintertime when the snow is on the ground
For he found me when the snow was on the ground
He traced the little footprints in the snow
He found my little footprints in the snow Lord
I bless that happy day when I did lose my way
He found me when the snow was on the ground
[ mandolin ]
He dropped in to see me there was a big round moon
Mother said just stepped out be returning soon
He found my little footprints he traced them through the snow
He found me when the snow was on the ground
He traced the little footprints...
[ steel ]
Now he's up in heaven he's with an angel band
I know I'm gonna meet her in that happy land
Everytime the snow falls it brings back memories
For he found me when the snow was on the ground
He traced the little footprints...
