Footprints in the Snow

Well, some folks like the summertime they can walk about 
  Strolling through the meadow green it's pleasant there's no doubt 
  But to me the wintertime is the best of all 
  'Cause I found her when the snow on the ground 

  Now, I traced her little footprints in the snow 
  I found her little footprints in the snow 
  I bless that happy day when Nellie lost her way 
  'Cause I found her when the snow was on the ground 

  Now the Ladies Garment Workers walked out last wintertime 
  One little union kitty was a dear sweetheart of mine 
  She walked around all winter on the picket line 
  But I found her when the snow was on the ground 

  Now, the Union Strike Committee didn't like me hangin' round: 
  Don't interfere with sisters while the strike is on 
  Don't go around behaving like a ring-tailed tom 
  But I found her when the snow was on the ground 

  'Cause I traced her little footprints in the snow 
  I found her little footprints in the snow 
  And I bless that happy day when Nellie lost her way 
  'Cause I found her when the snow was on the ground 

  She's somewhere out there marching with the union band 
  We'll get back together when the pension check comes in 
  But every time the snow falls, it brings back memories 
  'Cause I found here when the snow was on the ground 

  I traced her little footprints in the snow 
  Yah, I found her little footprints in the snow 
  I bless that happy day when Nellie lost her way 
  'Cause I found her when the snow was on the ground
