Verse 1
Some lovers like the summer time,
When they can stroll about,
A-sounding in the meadows,
Be grand, without a doubt,
But give to me the winter time,
For the girl that I made mine,
I captured while the snow was on the ground.
Chorus
For I traced her little footprints in the snow,
I traced her little footprints in the snow,
I blessed the winter's day, when Nellie lost her way,
And I traced her little footprints in the snow.
Verse 2
I traced her little footprints
Just outside the cottage door,
I traced her down a country lane,
I traced her to the moor.
I found she'd lost her way,
And stood in blank dismay,
Not knowing where to go to in the snow.
Chorus
Verse 3
I called to see the girl I loved,
One winter's afternoon,
But she was out a-walking,
They informed me very soon;
They said she'd strolled away,
But they could not tell me where,
So I started off to find her in the snow.
Chorus
Verse 4
I called to her, she saw me,
And as we were walking home,
She promised me that never more
Without me she would roam;
I'm happy now for ever,
And she's become my wife,
Whose footprints I traced plainly in the snow.
Chorus
