Merry Christmas Crackers and Crumbs and all in between. We appreciate all of you.
Here is a new wintery song… THE BLIZZARD CHILDREN from Chris
@REVERBNATION
—Johnny Hickman and Chris LeRoy!
Gentle as gentle as new fallen snow
Kiss from their mothers their faces glow
Walking to the schoolhouse, trees in a row
School day’s long, clock moving slow
Winds get heavy it’s starting to blow
Temperature drop to 40 below
“Children the fuel is running low
Gonna get cold we’re out of coal
Across the field we have to go.”
Teacher is calling the children in
Children in, children in
Teacher is calling the children in
“Teacher oh, teacher, we’re too slow
To venture out in the blinding snow
Thirteen of us, two hands to hold.”
Teacher said, “Children, I am the tree
And with this rope you’re tied to me
The boarding house, quickly
Teacher is calling the children in
Children in, children in
Teacher is calling the children in
Nebraska wind cuts like a sword
An angel touch, let go the cord
They walked out and found their reward
Teacher survived, frostbitten and lame
Called for the children, name by name
And in her dreams she is with them again
Teacher is calling the children in
Children in, children in
Teacher is calling the children in
Soon our brightest prospects fail
Autumn leaves blown through the gale
Meteors flown through the sky
Like them they fall, and like them die
CHORUS
