Snow - Jesse Winchester

I was tuning in the six o’clock news cast

And the weather man mentioned snow

As soon as I heard that four-letter word

I’s making my plans to go

If I was a bird I could fly back South

A bear I could go to sleep

Anything rather than hang around here

When the snow starts getting deep

Now you know what they say about snow flakes

How there ain’t no two the same

Well, all them flakes look alike to me

Every one is a dirty shame

My ears are cold my feet are cold

Bermuda stays on my mind

And I’m here to say that if winter comes

Then spring is way behind

I don’t have no heavy hip boots

I don’t have no furry hat

I don’t have no long-john underwear

No layer of protective fat

I’d take a plane right to sunny Spain

Oh, but I don’t have no dough

But I’d build a bridge and I’d walk there

To get away from all that snow

Oh, I would build a bridge and walk there

To get away from all that snow
