When the wind don't blow in Amarillo
And the moon along the Gunnison don't rise
Shall I cast my dreams upon your love, babe?
And lie beneath the laughter of your eyes
It was snowin' on Raton
Come morning, I'll be through them hills and gone
Mother thinks the road is long and lonely
My little brother thinks the road is straight and fine
And my darling thinks the road is soft and lovely
And I'm thankful that old road is a friend of mine
It was snowin' on Raton
But come morning, I'll be through them hills and gone
Bid the years goodbye, you can't still them
Nah, you can't turn the circles of the sun
And you can't count the miles until you feel them
And you sure can't hold a lover that is gone
It was snowin' on Raton
But come morning, I'll be through them hills and gone
Tomorrow the mountains will be sleeping
Silent 'neath a blanket green and blue
All I shall hear the silence that they are keeping
And I'll bring all their promises to you
It was snowin' on Raton
Come morning, I'll be through them hills and gone
It was snowin' on Raton
Come morning, I'll be through them hills and gone
Yeah come morning, I'll be through them hills and gone
