Artist: Jim Reeves
[C]There's a bliza[C7]rd comming o[F]n,
how I'm wis[C]hing I was home,
for my [C]pony's lame, and he can hardly [G]stand.
Listen [C]to that norther [C7]sigh,
if we [F]don't get home we'll [C]die.
But it's [G]only seven miles to Mary [Am]Ann's.
It's [G]only seven miles to Mary [C]Ann's.
You can [C]bet we're on her [C]mind,
for it's [F]nearly super[C]time
and I'll [C]bet there's hot biscuits in the [G]pan.
Lord, my [C]hands feel like there [C7]froze,
and there's a [F]numbness in my [C]toes.
But it's [G]only five more miles to Mary [Am]Ann's.
It's [G]only five more miles to Mary [C]Ann's.
That wind's [C]howling and it [C7]seems
mighty [F]like a woman's [C]scream.
And we'd [C]best a-be moving faster if we [G]can.
Dan just [C]think about that [C7]barn,
with the [F]hay so soft and [C]warm.
For it's [G]only three more miles to Mary [Am]Ann's,
It's [G]only three more miles to Mary [C]Ann's.
(Recitativ s akordy)
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.
He was j[G]ust a hundred yards from Mary A[C]nn's.
how I'm wis[C]hing I was home,
for my [C]pony's lame, and he can hardly [G]stand.
