There's a blizzard comin' on
+
How I'm wishin' I was home
+
For my pony's lame and he can't hardly stand
+
Listen to that norther sigh
+
If we don't get home well die
+
But its only seven miles to Mary Ann
+
Its only seven miles to Mary Ann
+
You can bet were on her mind
+
For its nearly supper time
+
And Ill bet there's hot biscuits in the pan
+
Lord my hands feel like they're froze
+
And there's a numbness in my toes
+
But its only five more miles to Mary Ann
+
Its only five more miles to Mary Ann
+
That winds howlin' and it seems
+
Mighty like a woman screams
+
And wed best be movin' faster if we can
+
Dan, just think about that barn
+
With that hay so soft and warm
+
For its only three more miles to Mary Ann
+
Its only three more miles to Mary Ann
+
Dan, get up, you ornery cuss
+
Or you'll be the death of us
+
I'm so weary, but Ill help ya if I can
+
Alright Dan, perhaps its best
+
That we stop a while and rest
+
For its still a hundred yards to Mary Ann
+
Its still a hundred yards to Mary Ann
+
Late that night the storm was gone
+
And they 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
+
His hands froze to the reigns
+
He was just a hundred yards form Mary Ann
+
He was just a hundred yards from Mary Ann
+
