At The First Fall Of Snow Lyrics - Hank Snow

I talked with a stranger so sad and forlorn 

His garments were sack cloth all tattered and town 

He told me a story of sorrow and woe 

His heart went to heaven at the first fall of snow 

He spoke of his angel a dear baby girl 

He loved every footstep he loved every curl 

But she went to heaven just one year ago 

The angels came for her at the first fall of snow 

He still have the dolly that she used to love 

He held and caressed it and he gazed up above 

He whispered my darling you're waiting I know 

I'll bring you your dolly at the first fall of snow 

[ fiddle ] 

And there as I listened then my eyes filled with tears 

I knew she was part of his happier years 

His frail body trembled he spoke soft and low 

I'll be with my darling at the first fall of snow 

I just couldn't tell him how I felt inside 

I patted his shoulder my feelings to hide 

He smiled as we partred cause he didn't know 

That we'd lost our darling at the first fall of snow
