Lyrics Footprints in the Snow (Live) - Bill Monroe

Now some folks like the summertime when they can walk about
Strolling through the meadow green, it's pleasant there, no doubt
But give me the wintertime when the snow is on the ground
For I found her when the snow was on the ground

I traced her little footprints in the snow
I found her little footprints in the snow, Lord
I bless that happy day that Nellie lost her way
For I found her when the snow was on the ground

Now she's up in Heaven, she's with the angel band
I know I'm going to meet her in that promised land
But every time the snow falls, it brings back memories
For I found her when the snow was on the ground

I traced her little footprints in the snow
I found her little footprints in the snow, Lord
I bless that happy day that Nellie lost her way
For I found her when the snow was on the ground
