Burl Ives - Snow For Johnny lyrics
[Burl Ives - Snow For Johnny lyrics]
He wants to build a big snowman
It was a week just before Christmas
Way down in Louisiana
A little boy was kneeling by his bed
In a manner poised and grand
I listened as he said his prayers
His voice came soft and low
He said, "God tell Saint Nicholas
To send a little snow"
Please send some snow some snow for Johnny
He wants to build a big snowman
I'd like to build a snowman
Like the other children do
I've got an old top hat and a walking cane
Got a big long cigar too
Yes, everything is ready
And I'm all set to go
How can I build a snowman
When I haven't any snow
Please send some snow some snow for Johnny
He wants to build a big snowman
Now, early Christmas morning
Much to his surprise
Snowflakes by the million
Were falling from the skies
Down the stairs and out-of doors
As fast as he could go
So happy that Saint Nicholas
Had sent a little snow
Thanks for the snow the snow for Johnny
Now he can build a big snowman
Thanks for the snow the snow for Johnny
Now he can build a big snowman
Thanks for the snow the snow for Johnny
Now he can build a big snowman
