Footprints In The Snow Lyrics - Bill Monroe & His Bluegrass Boys

Now some folks like the summertime when the they can walk about 

Strolling through the meadow green it's pleasant there no doubt 

But give me the wintertime when the snow is on the ground 

For I found her when the snow on the ground 

I traced her little footprints in the snow 

I found her little footprints in the snow 

I bless that happy day when Nellie lost her way 

For 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 would be returning soon 

I found her little footprints and I traced them in the snow 

I found her when the snow was on the ground 

Now she's up in heaven she's with the angel band 

I know I'm going to meet her in that promised land 

But every time the snow falls it brings back memories 

For I found her when the snow was on the ground
