The second verse to the song goes: It's been coming on, I knew you soon would be gone, It even crossed your mind every day. Then you said to me, "Things are bad back home you see, I think I'd better be on my way." So I should blame you now, but I never could somehow, for a miner's wife you weren't cut out to be. It wasn't what you thought, just some dreams that you bought when you left your home and ran away with me. Now the soft new snows... Hope this helps!
