Hi, can anybody help me with the lyrics to this old song.
Thanks...God Bless.

TWENTY FOUR BELOW

An old Nebraska pioneer lay dying on the ground
......................................
But he did not care for that..........
......................................

A cowboy knelt beside him in the north wind's icy breath
And he whispered words of comfort as he slowly froze to death
........................................

"I have lived here thirty years or more," the man went on to say
"But I never saw such weather like the weather is today.
I've been caught out in blizzards, I should think a score or more.
I always got home safely. I never froze before.

"Tell my wife, if you can find her, for she left some years ago,
...........................................
...........................................
She's welcome to the homestead ............

Just this side a broken bow.................
You can tell her that the mercury was 24 below.

...............................................
The old man stopped speaking. Sure he breathed once or twice.
His breath was gone forever. he lay still upon the ice.
The pole-man rose up slowly, and the north wind ceased to blow.
The weatherman reported it was twenty-four below.
