Footprints In The Snow

by Bill Monroe & His Bluegrass Boys

on The Essential Bill Monroe (2013), Anthology (1994)

Now some folks like the summertime when the they can walk about
Strolling through the meadow green it's pleasant there no doubt
But give me the wintertime when the snow is on the ground
For I found her when the snow on the ground
I traced her little footprints in the snow
I found her little footprints in the snow
I bless that happy day when Nellie lost her way
For I found her when the snow was on the ground
I dropped in to see her there was a big round moon
Her mother said she just stepped out but would be returning soon
I found her little footprints and I traced them in the snow
I found her when the snow was on the ground
Now she's up in heaven she's with the angel band
I know I'm going to meet her in that promised land
But every time the snow falls it brings back memories
For I found her when the snow was on the ground

Was it the song you were looking for? Yes 🎊

Yes, thank you! This has been running now and then though my mind for 20 years, just three lines. Now I can sing it and turn it off when needed.
