Thread Name: BS: BLIZZARD! (Virtually Snowed In)
Subject: Lyr Add: I TRACED HER LITTLE FOOTPRINTS IN THE SNO
Then I seem to hear the echo of Flatt & Scruggs singing "I traced Her Little Footprints in the Snow." How does that go?

I TRACED HER LITTLE FOOTPRINTS IN THE SNOW (Traditional Bluegrass?)

Chorus:

I traced her little footprints in the snow;
I followed her little footprints in the snow;
Oh, bless that happy day, when Nellie lost her way;
I found her when the snow was on the ground.

I went out to Nellie's house, there was a big round moon;
Her mother said she'd just stepped out; she'd be returning soon;
I followed her little footprints and traced them through the snow;
I found her when the snow was on the ground. (CHO)

Now Nellie's gone to Heaven; she's with an angel band;
I will soon be joining her in that happy land;
Every time the snow flies, it brings back memories,
I found her when the snow was on the ground. (CHO)

I always enjoy songs that give you room to imagine what is going on, and this one certainly complies.
