go away, you cold north wind
Blowing my muffler round and round
Pure white powder blowin'
Coverin' up the icy ground
I'm slippin' and a -slidin'
down this dead end street
Like a sheep who is lost from the fold
I've been on the land and
I ain't never seen a night so cold
Suddenly a face at the window
Looks like someone I might
Thought it must have been
When suddenly she opened up the door
And I never expected to see you again
Must have been seven years ago
Don't stand outside in the
She sat me down in that old rocking chair
And she threw on another lump of coal
Said, what's a southern boy
Where the winter gets so long and cold?
My history is a short one to tell
I've been travelin' all these seven years
I follow the music and the money around
And that's what I'm doin' up
She said, came up with my husband
But it just got cold up there for me
And I never expected to see you again
Then again you just never know
You better stay here until the world clears
It's just too cold to be out there
