There's a blizard comming on,
C
how I'm wishing I was home,
C G
for my pony's lame, and he can hardly stand.
C C7
Listen to that norther sigh,
F C
if we don't get home we'll die.
G Am
But it's only seven miles to Mary Ann's.
G C
It's only seven miles to Mary Ann's.
C C
You can bet we're on her mind,
F C
for it's nearly supertime
C G
and I'll bet there's hot biscuits in the pan.
C C7
Lord, my hands feel like there froze,
F C
and there's a numbness in my toes.
G Am
But it's only five more miles to Mary Ann's.
G C
It's only five more miles to Mary Ann's.
C C7
That wind's howling and it seems
F C
mighty like a woman's scream.
C G
And we'd best a-be moving faster if we can.
C C7
Dan just think about that barn,

Dan, get up you or`nery cuss,
or you'll be the death of us.
I'm so weary, but I'll help you if I can.
Alright dan, perhaps it's best,
if we stop a while and rest.
For it's still a hundred yards to Mary Ann's.
It's still a hundred yards to Mary Ann's.
(Recitativ s akordy.)
Late that night the storm was gone,
the found him there at dawn.
He'd a-made it but he just couldn't leave old Dan.
Yes they found him there on the plains,
hands froze to the reigns.
He was just a hundred yards form Mary Ann's.
G C
He was just a hundred yards from Mary Ann's.
