snowing on raton

well when the wind don't blow in amarillo

and the moon along to gunnison don't rise

shall i cast my dreams upon your love babe

and lie beneath the laughter of your eyes. snowing on raton

come morning i'll be through the hills and gone. mother thinks the road is long lonely

little brother thinks the road is straight and fine

will little darlin' thinks the road is soft and lovely

i'm thankful that old road is a friend of mine. snowing on raton

come morning i'll be through the hills and gone. bid the years good-bye you cannot still them

you cannot turn the circles of the sun

you cannot count the miles until you fell them

you cannot hold a lover that is gone. snowing on raton

come morning i'll be through the hills and gone. tomorrow the mountains will be sleeping

silently the blanket green and blue

but i shall hear the silence they are keeping

i'll bring all their promises to you. snowing on raton

come morning i'll be through the hills and gone.
