         At The First Fall Of Snow
Hank Williams


 D                                    G
I talked with a stranger, so sad and forlorn,
                   A                            D
His garments were sack cloth, all tattered and torn.
                                   G
He told me a story, of sorrow and woe,
                   D              A              D
His heart went to Heaven, at the first fall of snow.


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


 D                                        G
He still had the dolly, that she used to love,
               A                       D
He held and caressed it, and gazed up above.
                                          G
He whispered, "My baby, you're waiting I know, 
                     D             A             D
I'll bring you your dolly, at the first fall of snow."


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


 D                                     G
I patted his shoulder, my feelings to hide,
 A                                D
He couldn't know, I was crying inside,
                                         G
He smiled as we parted, cause he didn't know,
                  D            A              D
That we lost our baby, at the first fall of snow.
