[Verse 1]
D                                    G
I talked with a stranger, so sad and forlorn,
                  D                            A7
His garments were sack cloth, all tattered and torn.
   D                              G
He told me a story, of sorrow and woe,
                  D              A             D
His heart went to Heaven, at the first fall of snow.

[Verse 2]
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.

[Verse 3]
D                                        G
He still had the dolly, that she used to love,
              A7                       D
He held and caressed it, and gazed up above.
                                            G
He whispered: "My darlin', you're waiting I know, 
                    D             A             D
I'll bring you your dolly, at the first fall of snow."

[Verse 4]
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            A7            D
"I'll be with my baby, at the first fall of snow."

[Verse 5]
                                       G
I just couldn't tell him, how I felt inside.
             A7   A                   D
I patted his shoulder, my feelings to hide,
                                        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.
