I was following the pack all swallowed in their coats

With scarves of red tied ' round their throats
F#m  
To keep their little heads
F#m  
From fallin'  in the snow
F#m  
And I turn ' round and there you go

And Michael you would fall

And turn the white snow red as strawberries in the summertime
