Josh Ritter - Wintertime lyrics
[Josh Ritter - Wintertime lyrics]
We got mistletoe and holly
And those flowers with the red leaves
I forget got the ice in little 'icles
And the sunset quite magical
And the evening's only barely started yet
Folks are on the pond out skating
Carolers practice serenading
Snowmen and women grow out of the ground
And where once it all was peaceful
Now it's boisterous and gleeful
Oh it's wintertime, the snow is coming down
There'll be joking and good sporting
They'll be rosy cheeks and courting
As for carriage rides
We all have got our doubts
Still we've laughter and each other
Brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers
Boys and girlfriends who we're
Not that wild about
And sure there are those we're missing
One's we love gone down in history
We will drop a tear or two then raise a round
To the seasons and their passing
To all the love out there for having
Oh it's wintertime, the snow is coming down
There's toboggans and egg noggins
And we all will hang our stockings
And wonder what the morning time will bring
There'll be frost on every windowsill
And sledders up on break leg hill
And jingler singing jingaling-aling
And we all can see our breath outside
The air is cold ans fresh outside
The sense of wonder fills our little town
On each face a look of wonder
At the spell we all are under
Oh it's wintertime, the snow is coming down
So someone get a punch bowl
Or whatever thing my jig will hold
A little ice and a lot of something cold
We haven't got a lot of punch
But that's alright, we got a bunch
Of other stuff to make the church bells toll
Someone fetch the pastor's daughter
He don't know that she's a rocker
But she honky-tonks like no one else around
Outside the temperature is dropping
Inside we're jingle-hopping
Oh it's wintertime, the snow is coming down
And even though the food is hateful
Sure we'll have another plateful
It's wintertime, the snow is coming down
We'll roast chestnuts in the fire
And like last year wonder why
Oh it's wintertime, the snow is coming down
It's wintertime, the snow is coming down
It's wintertime, the snow is coming down
