 D                                       G             D
 Thereās a blizzard cominā on    How Iām wishinā I was home
                                         A
 For my ponyās lame and he canāt hardly stand
        D                             G                    D
 Listen to that Norther sigh    If we donāt get home weāll die
          A                     Bm    A                    D
 But itās only 7 miles to Mary Ann    Only 7 miles to Mary Ann
 
 D                                         G            D
 You can bet weāre on her mind   ĪCuz itās nearly suppertime
                                          A
 And Iāll bet thereās hot biscuits in the pan
         D                                        G              D
 Lord my hands feel like their froze    Thereās a numbness in my toes
             A                          Bm    A                         D
 
 But thereās only 5 more miles to Mary Ann    Only 5 more miles to Mary
 Ann
 
                                         G                D
 That windās howlinā and it seems Mighty like a womanās screams
                                A
 We best be movinā faster if we can
           D                               G              D
 Dan, just think about that barn with that hay so soft an warm
      A                           Bm         A                          D
 
 Itās only 3 more miles to Mary Ann     Itās only 3 more miles to Mary
 Ann

 D                                     G               D
 Dan, get up you ornery cuss or youāll be the death of us
                                          A
 Well, Iām so weary but Iāll help ya if I can
                 D                              G                D
 Well, all right Dan, perhaps itās best that we stop a while and rest
       A                                Bm
 Weāre still a hundred yards from Mary Ann
      A                              D
 Itās still a hundred yards to Mary Ann
 
 D                                                 G                  D
 Well late that night the storm was gone and they found him there at dawn
 
                                                     A
 Well, heād a made it but he just couldnāt leave old Dan
            D                                     G                  D
 Yes, they found him there on the plains with his hands froze to the
 reins
        A                               Bm
 He was just a hundred yards from Mary Ann
        A                                D
 He was just a hundred yards from Mary Ann
