Snow, snow, falling down;
Covering up my dirty old town.

Covers the garbage dump, covers the holes,
Covers the rich homes, and the poor souls,
Covers the station, covers the tracks,
Covers the footsteps of those who'll not be back.

Under the street lamp, there stands a girl,
Looks like she's not got a friend in this world.
Look at the big flakes come drifting down,
Twisting and turning, round and round.

Covers the mailbox, the farm and the plow.
Even barbed wire seems - beautiful now.
Covers the station, covers the tracks.
Covers the footsteps of those who'll not be back.

17. Snow, Snow
(Seeger) Pete Seeger made this song. I'm happy to have the original lp called Rainbow Race, maybe one of his rarest. The winter has been quite cold and hard here in Finland and in late March when snow started to melt at last I was hoping that now we can get rid of it. But snow kept and kept coming gain and again. I remembered this track and decided to do a cover of it. --Jore Sad banjo! Pretty bleak - but no wonder, as Finland was under snow for months - as was Scotland last winter. I've never heard the original but I can't imagine it beating Jore's version for melancholy! --Davy
