track listing:
1/ Louisiana Snow
Lyrics:
There it was all laid out on the ground
Piled up on the pine tree limbs, and still coming down
Cars out on the street moving slow
Looking out at Louisiana snow
Sledding down the levee on a cardboard box
Wearing my hightop shoes and 3 pairs of socks
Feeling good though I could not feel my toes
Walking home through Louisiana snow
Power lines are down tonight
No evening news, no Christmas lights
but the transistor radio still plays
Little town of Bethlehem,
Peace on earth, good will to men,
I hear the church bells ringing far away
There it was all laid out on the ground
Covering my daddy’s car, and still coming down
It will all be gone before we know
Looking out at Louisiana snow
