Some folks like the summertime when they can walk about

Strollin' through the meadow green it's fun there's no doubt

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

For he found me when the snow was on the ground

He traced the little footprints in the snow

He found my little footprints in the snow Lord

I bless that happy day when I did lose my way

He found me when the snow was on the ground

[ mandolin ]

He dropped in to see me there was a big round moon

Mother said just stepped out be returning soon

He found my little footprints he traced them through the snow

He found me when the snow was on the ground

He traced the little footprints...

[ steel ]

Now he's up in heaven he's with an angel band

I know I'm gonna meet her in that happy land

Everytime the snow falls it brings back memories

For he found me when the snow was on the ground

He traced the little footprints...
