When they can walk about
Strolling through the meadow green
It's pleasant, there's no doubt

But give me the wintertime
When the snow is on the ground
I found her when the snow was on the ground

I traced her little footprints in the snow
I found her little footprints in the snow
I bless that happy day when Nellie lost her way
I found her when the snow was on the ground

I dropped in to see her
There was a big, round moon
Her mother said she just stepped out
But would be returning soon

I found her little footprints
And I traced them in the snow
I found her when the snow was on the ground

I traced her little footprints in the snow
I found her little footprints in the snow
I bless that happy day when Nellie lost her way
I found her when the snow was on the ground

Now she's up in heaven with the angel band
I know I'm going to meet her in that happy land
But every time the snow falls, it brings back memories
I found her when the snow was on the ground

I found her little footprints in the snow
I traced her little footprints in the snow
I bless that happy day when Nellie lost her way
I found her when the snow was on the ground

When they can walk about
Strolling through the meadow green
