There`s a blizzard comin` on, how I`m wishin` I was home-

G
for my pony`s lame and he can`t hardly stand.

C F C
Listen to that Norther sigh- if we don`t get home, we`ll die.

G Am
But it`s only seven miles to MaryAnn.

G Am Em6 C
It`s only seven miles to MaryAnn.

You can bet we`re on her mind, `cause it`s nearly supper time.
And I`ll bet there`s hot biscuits in the pan.
Lord, my hands feel like their froze, there`s a numbness in my toes.
but it`s only five more miles to MaryAnn.
It`s only five more miles to MaryAnn.

That winds howlin` and it seems, mighty like a woman`s scream.
We best be movin` faster, if we can.
Dan, just think about that barn, with that hay so soft and warm.
It`s only three more miles to MaryAnn.
It`s only three more miles to MaryAnn.

[spoken]
Well Dan, get up, you awnry cuss, or you`ll be the death of us.
Well I`m so weary, I`ll help ya`, if I can.
Well, alright Dan, perhaps it`s best, that we stop awhile and rest.
For it`s still a-hundred yards to MaryAnn.
[sung]
It`s still a-hundred yards to MaryAnn.

[spoken]
Well, late that night the storm was gone, and they found `im, there at dawn.
Well, he`d a-made it, but he just couldn`t leave `ol Dan.
Yes, they found him there, on the plains, with his hands froze to the reins.
He was just a-hundred yards from MaryAnn.
[sung]
He was just a-hundred yards from MaryAnn.

Make sure when this song is sung to not use the word, MaryAnn`s.
He is not trying to get to the place and much as he is the woman.
