[Intro]
G C
[Verse 1]
There's Ca blizard comming C7on, how I'm Fwishing I was Chome,
for my Cpony's lame, and he can hardly Gstand.
Listen Cto that norther C7sigh, if we Fdon't get home we'll Cdie.
But it's Gonly seven miles to Mary AmAnn's.
It's Gonly seven miles to Mary CAnn's.
[Verse 2]
You can Cbet we're on her C7mind, for it's Fnearly suppeCrtime
and I'll Cbet there's hot biscuits in the Gpan.
Lord my Chands feel like there C7froze, and there's a Fnumbness in my Ctoes.
But it's Gonly five more miles to Mary AmAnn's.
It's Gonly five more miles to Mary CAnn's.
[Verse 3]
That wind's Chowling and it C7seems mighty Flike a woman's Cscream.
And we'd Cbest a be moving faster if we Gcan.
Dan just Cthink about that C7barn, with the Fhay so soft and Cwarm.
For it's Gonly three more miles to Mary AmAnn's,
It's Gonly three more miles to Mary CAnn's.
[Verse 4]
(Talk--chord in background)
Dan get up yCou ornery cuss, C7or you'll be Fthe death of uCs.
I'm so weCary, but I'll help you if I cGan.
Alright DCan, perhaps it's C7best, if we stoFp a while and reCst.
For it's Gstill a hundred yards to Mary AmAnn's.
It's Gstill a hundred yards to Mary CAnn's.
[Verse 5]
(Talk--chord in background.)
Late that niCght the storm wC7as gone, they Ffound him there at Cdawn.
He'd-a-maCde it but he just couldn't leave old GDan.
Yes they fouCnd him there on the C7plains, hands Ffroze to the rCeigns.
He was juGst a hundred yards from Mary AmAnn's.
(Sing - last line.)
He was jGust a hundred yards from Mary ACnn's.
