At the First Fall of Snow (2019 - Remaster) Songtext
von Hank Williams

I talked with a stranger, so sad and alone
His Garments were sackled, all tattered and torn
He told me a story, of sorrow and woe
His heart went to heaven, at the first fall of snow

He spoke of his angel, a dear baby girl
He loved every footstep, he loved every curl
But she went to heaven, just one year ago
The angels came for her, at the first fall of snow


He still had the dolly, that she used to love
He held and caressed it, and gazed up above

He whispered my dirling, your waiting I know
I′ll bring you your dolly, at the first fall of snow

And there as I listened, my eyes filled with tears
I knew she was part of, his happier years
His frail body trembled, he spoke soft and low
I'll be with my baby, at the first fall of snow


I just coudn′t tell you, I felt inside
I patted his shoulder, my feelings to hide
He smiled as we parted, cause he didn't know
That we lost our baby, at the first fall of snow
