Lyrics
'Twas on one cold and stormy night,
When the snow was falling fast,
A mother and two little babes
Were freezing in the blast.

Toll the village bell
Let all good people know
'Twas on a cold and stormy night
Three perished in the snow.

Oh, mother, won't you keep us warm,
Oh, mother, won't you try,
Oh, mother, won't you keep us warm,
Or we will surely die.

A farmer heard he sad, sad news,
It grieved his heart to know
Not forty yards from his own door
Three perished in the snow.
