[Verse 1]
C C7 F C There's a blizard coming on, how I'm wishing I was home, C G for my pony's lame, and he can hardly stand. C C7 F C Listen to that norther sigh, if we don't get home we'll die. G Am But it's only seven miles to Mary Ann's. G C It's only seven miles to Mary Ann's.
[Verse 2]
C C7 F C You can bet we're on her mind, for it's nearly supertime C G and I'll bet there's hot biscuits in the pan. C C7 F C Lord my hands feel like they're froze, and there's a numbness in my toes. G Am But it's only five more miles to Mary Ann's. G C It's only five more miles to Mary Ann's.
[Verse 3]
C C7 F C That wind's howling and it seems mighty like a woman's scream. C G And we'd best be moving faster if we can. C C7 F C Dan just think about that barn, with the hay so soft and warm. G Am For it's only three more miles to Mary Ann's, G C It's only three more miles to Mary Ann's.
(Talk--chords in background)
Dan get up you ornery cuss, or you'll be the death of us.
I'm so weary, but I'll help you if I can.
Alright dan, perhaps it's best, if we stop a while and rest.
For it's still a hundred yards to Mary Ann's.
It's still a hundred yards to Mary Ann's.
(Talk--chords in background.)
Late that night the storm was gone, they found him there at dawn.
He'd-a-made it but he just couldn't leave old Dan.
Yes they found him there on the plains, hands froze to the reins.
He was just a hundred yards from Mary Ann's.
[Outro]
G C He was just a hundred yards from Mary Ann's.
