At The First Fall Of Snow Composer(s): Lorene Rose Performer(s): Molly O'Day & the Cumberland Mountain Folks and multiple other artists
I talked with a stranger so sad and forlorn His garments were wrinkled, all tattered and town He told me a story of sorrow and woe His heart went to Heaven at the first fall of snow
He spoke of his angel, a dear baby girl He loved every footstep, he loved every curl But she went to Heaven just one year ago The angels came for her at the first fall of snow
He still had the dolly that she used to love He held and caressed it and gazed up above He whispered, "My darlin', you're waiting I know I'll bring you your dolly at the first fall of snow"
And there as I listened, my eyes filled with tears I knew she was part of his happier years His frail body trembled, he spoke soft and low "I'll be with my darlin' at the first fall of snow"
I just couldn't tell him how I'd felt inside I patted his shoulder, my feelings to hide He smiled as we parted, but he didn't know That we lost our darling at the first fall of snow
