It was the first snow of the year and all that you could hear
G C F C
were your own foot steps in the wet and heavy snow.
C F
It’s been almost 40 years John Roberts rangered around here.
G C F C
He was the sort of man that everybody knows.
Am Em
Heading home on Friday night, in the fading winter light,
F G G
With the weekend and Christmas on his mind.
C F
When in the freshly fallen snow, there were the footprints of old Joe,
G C F C
and a spruce stump, fresh cut and left behind.

C F G
Joe Carson never had much luck. Some might say he had it rough; seven children
C F C
he never had a steady job.
C F
But as John stood there at his door, he clenched his teeth and then he swore,
G C F C
“Not even this man should stand above the law.”
Am Em
So in a steamy room inside, where puppies ran and babies cried.
F G
He hit Carson with a stiff ten dollar fine.
C F
And Carson said, “that cleans me out.” And Johnny had his doubts
G C F C
of Christmas morning and what Joe’s kids might find.
Am Em
As he headed for the door, he spied a pup there on the floor.
F G G
He picked it up and turned to Carson once again.
C F
He said, “my nephew wants a pup. And it looks like he’s in luck.
G C F C
I’ll take this one.” And he handed Joe a ten.

Later on, on Sunday night on a corner ‘neath a street light,
G C F C
doesn’t John run into Joe on his way home.
C F
He said, “since the other night when you came by, it’s been a sight!
G C F C
I’ve sold eight pups now, what’s that go to show?”
Am Em
“News travels fast here in the woods, Joe, I hope your Christmas is good.”
F G G
And for a moment, they just stood there in the snow.
C F
And then Joe stuck out his hand. He said, I hope your day is grand.
G
Merry Christmas to you, Johnny.”
(no chord) C G C
“Merry Christmas to you, Joe.”
