Oh the first snowfall of the winter      Was a day that we all waited for      When it drifted to and frost      Why you should've seen the snow      It was near seven feet or more      By the old barn door            Oh the first snowfall of the winter      What a joy for a boy to behold      In each house you'll find a sleigh      That was waiting for this day      And of course, down the road a hill      For each jack and jill            Every winter breeze that scurries      Sets the snowflakes up in flurries      It's the good old sentimental season when      Folks put runners on their surreys      And forget about their worries      When a man becomes a boy once again            Oh the first snowfall of the winter      Jingle bells bring us spells ever dear      Under wintry skies of gray      It was snowing all the day      And it showed no signs of stopping      Every kid with eyes of popping      Will soon be belly-whopping on his ear            On the first snowfall of the winter      Oh the first snowfall of the year      The first snow of the year      Is just about the best snow      Well I'll say any snow      Is a pretty good show
