Intro
verse 1
There s a blizzard comin on how I m wishin I was home
For my pony s lame and he can t hardly stand
Listen to that northern sigh if we don t get home we ll die
But it s only seven miles to Mary Anne
It s only seven miles to Mary Anne
verse 2
You can bet we re on her mind for it s nearly Christmas time
And I ll bet there s hot biscuits in the pan
Lord my hands feel like they re froze and there s a numbness in my toes
But it s only five more miles to Mary Anne
It s only five more miles to Mary Anne
verse 3
That wind s howlin and it seems mighty like a woman s screams
So we d 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 Mary Anne
It s only three more miles to Mary Anne
verse 4
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
All right Dan perhaps it s best that we ll stop awhile and rest
For it s still A hundred yards to Mary Anne
It s still a hundred yards to Mary Anne
Verse 5
Late that night the storm was gone and they found him there at dawn
He had made it but he couldn t leave ol Dan
Yes they found him there on the plains his hands froze to the reins
He was just a hundred yards from Mary Anne
He was just a hundred yards from Mary Anne
