But when we woke this early morn The clouds were hanging low. They'd opened up their gates, I guess, And sept along some snow. The weather man's no friend of ours; . He's surely done us dire; He promised us that spring was here, And then his duty shirked. But let me tell you. friend of mine, There's one thing that I know; I'll surely kill the weather man If he sends along more enow.
