Moira & Alice

I just got this from a friend who got it from Jim Stewart, the author of the The Winter Shanty

The Winter Shanty
music: traditional
lyrics: © Jim Stewart, SOCAN

When I was a little boy, so my mother told me .. (Shovel !)
(Way, haul away, we'll haul away snow)
If you lick a frozen pipe, your tongue is bound to hold thee .. (Shovel !)
(Way, haul away, we'll haul away snow)

Chorus:
Way, haul away, we'll pray for better weather .. (Shovel !)
(Way, haul away, we'll haul away snow)

I ain't got a 4-wheel drive, I ain't got no snow blower .. etc.
So winter is a pain in the back, and sometimes even lower .. etc.

Cho:

I can't get to Florida, I'm financially unable .. etc.
Besides, I have a relationship with a set of booster cables .. etc.

Cho:

I once loved a Yankee girl, but now we're separated .. etc.
Cause all she knew was Fahrenheit, and I was metricated .. etc.

Cho:

I just dug my driveway out, those snowdrifts I was slingin' .. etc.
Then the bastard plough came round, and blocked the whole damn thing in .. etc.

Cho:

Enjoy
