Listen to that northern sigh if we don't get home we'll die
         A          A             Bm          Bm
But it's only seven miles to Mary Anne

Lord my hands feel like they're froze and there's a numbness in my toes

That wind's howlin' and it seems mighty like a woman's screams
         D              D            A         A
So we'd best be movin' faster if we can
         D                D7             G               D
Dan just think about that barn with that hay so soft and warm

Dan get up your ornery cuss or you'll be the death of us

I'm so weary but I'll help you if I can
          D                D7              G               D
All right Dan perhaps it's best that we'll stop awhile and rest

         D                      D7               G            D
Yes they found him there on the plains his hands froze to the reins
