Blizzard Lyrics - Singles - Harlan Howard

There's a blizzard comin' on and I'm wishin' I was home 

For my pony's lame and he can't hardly stand 

Lord my hands feel like they're froze and there's a numbness in my toes 

But it's only seven miles to Mary Anne it's only seven miles to Mary Anne 

You can bet we're on her mind for it's nearly suppertime 

And I bet there's hot biscuits in the pan 

Listen to that northern sigh if we don't get home we'll die 

But it's only five more miles to Mary Anne it's only five more miles to Mary Anne 

That wind's howlin' and it seems mighty like a woman's screams 

And we'd best be movin' faster if we can 

Dan just think about that barn with that hay so soft and warm 

It's only three more miles to Mary Anne it's only three more miles to Mary Anne 

Dan get up your ornery cuss or you'll be the death of us 

I'm so weary but I'll help you if I can 

All right Dan perhaps it's best we'll just stop awhile and rest 

It's still another mile to Mary Anne it's still another mile to Mary Anne 

Late that night the storm was gone and they found him there at dawn 

He'd've made it but he just couldn't leave ol' Dan 

Yes they found him out there on the plains his hands froze to the reins 

He was just a hundred yards from Mary Anne 

He was just a hundred yards from Mary Anne
