Traditional

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
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
Bless that happy day when Nellie list her way
I found her when the snow was on the ground

I went out to see her
There was a big round moon
Her mother said she just stepped out
But would be trturning soon
I found her little footprints and
I traced them in the snow
I found her when the snow was on the ground

* Refrain

Now she's up in heaven
She's with the angel band
I know I'm going to meet her
In that promised land
Everytime the snow falls
It brings back memories
I found her when the snow was on the ground

* Refrain
