The First Snowfall

Oh, the first snowfall of the winter

Was the day that we all waited for

When it drifted to and fro

Why you should've seen the snow

It was near seven feet or more

By the old barn door

Oh, the first snowfall of the winter

What a joy for a boy to behold

In each house, you'd find a sleigh

That was waiting for this day

And of course, down the road a hill

For each Jack and Jill

Every winter breeze that scurries

Sends the snowflakes up in flurries

It's the good old sentimental season when

Folks put runners on their surreys

They forget about their worries

And a man becomes a boy once again

Oh, the first snowfall of the winter

Jingle bells wove their spells ever dear

Under wintry skies of gray

It was snowing hard all day

And it showed no signs of stoppin'

Every kid with eyes a-poppin'

Knew he'd soon be belly-whoppin' on his ear

On the first snowfall of the winter

Oh, that first snowfall of the year

(Oh, the first snowfall of the winter)

Oh, that first snowfall of the year
