The candle is flickerin' The lamp oil is gone The northern lights come streamin' down And I know it won't be long There's 15 wolves out in the back And eight shots for my gun There's ten days wood left in the bin And I know it won't be long And the train don't roll By my window anymore The snow just blows Through the cracks in the floor And I'd give my bottom dollar To see her face in my back door I'd give my bottom dollar Just to hold you in my arms ♪ The frost came early and so did the snow I guess they couldn't get in I lit a fire to send a signal It was taken by the wind There's a letter in the cupboard above the stove Please take it to her I wrote it on the label of my bottle of whiskey I could still feel it burn And the train don't roll By my window anymore The snow just blows Through the cracks in the floor And I'd give my bottom dollar To see her face in my back door I'd give my bottom dollar Just to hold you in my arms ♪ And the train don't roll By my window anymore The snow just blows Through the cracks in the floor And I'd give my bottom dollar To see her face in my back door I'd give my bottom dollar Just to hold you in my arms
