 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.
