Woke up this mornin'
to the swelterin' heat
Yeah, woke up this mornin'
to the swelterin' heat
What I saw out the window
Made me jump to my feet

There out behind the house
Was a snowman with eyes of coal
Yeah, a big ol' snowman
with eyes of coal
Yeah, he was glistenin' in the mornin' sun
Them eyes burnin' thru my soul

So I run to get my camera
And I run to get my wife
Yeah, I run to get my camera
Lord, I run to get my wife
Say, "Baby, strangest thing
I ever seen in my life"

By the time I got her to the window
Don'tcha know that snowman was gone
Yeah, when I got my baby to the window
That coal eyed snowman gone
Just then my eyes opened
As night gave way to dawn


Yeah, that snowman wore me out
Made me wake a' feelin' beat
Yeah, that dream wore me out
Lord, Iwas feelin' beat
Walked outside where's I'd seen him
Found couple lumps of coal at my feet...
