Lyrics

One Shovel Full At A Time
Roy Hurd

Yea I bought me a brand new snow shovel
Eighteen dollars and forty nine cents
From Pete Barber up in Dannamora
His wife and him come to hear me sing now and then
I moved back home to the North Country
Spent eleven years in Tennessee
I’m starin in the face of February
Spring’s sure gonna look good to me

Chorus:
Cause it falls from the sky and it piles on the ground
I grab my shovel and I push it all around
I’m getting through winter in the great north woods
One shovel full at a time

I fell in love with a mountain woman
She promised me that she’d keep me warm
When Tom Messner says a storm’s comin
I’ll be right there in her arm

Repeat Chorus:

When it comes to the snow I’m ready and willin
When it’s twenty below I’ll be chillin
Don’t you worry about ole Roy
I’m still an Adirondack boy

I’m reading a book called The Zen Of Winter
Spiritually speaking I am one with the snow
I’ve got good gloves for these Guitar fingers
And I sing along when the cold wind blows

Repeat Chorus X2:
