[00:16.31]The roof is leaking and the wind is howling
[00:19.48]
[00:21.89]Kids are crying 'cause the sheets are so cold
[00:25.28]
[00:27.60]I woke this morning found my hands were frozen
[00:30.81]
[00:33.06]I've tried to fix the fire but you know the damn thing's too old
[00:38.00]
[00:41.19]It's been months now since we heard from our mary
[00:44.59]
[00:46.52]I wonder if she ever made the coast
[00:49.47]
[00:51.69]She and her young man they both moved out there
[00:55.26]
[00:57.12]But I sure hope they write just to let us know
[01:01.44]
[01:04.07]And me I'm getting stronger by the minute
[01:08.23]
[01:10.22]My wife's expecting but I hope she can wait
[01:13.31]
[01:15.67]Cause this winter looks like it's gonna be another bad one
[01:18.99]
[01:20.88]But spring'll soon be here
[01:22.39]
[01:27.54]Oh god I hope it's not late
[01:29.58]
[01:35.48]Ma and pa lived here and theirs before them
[01:38.84]
[01:40.88]Tried their hardest to make it a home
[01:44.24]
[01:46.14]Seems so long now since they passed over
[01:49.56]
[01:51.66]Hope my children'll try to make it their own
[01:56.39]
