Snow Deer

Woody Guthrie


Tom: G

          G        
snow deer mine, Moon's a-shine, through the pines
              D7     
While Mohawks sleep, Let us creep, through the vale
                                     G      
Your cowboy lover,   your heart will cover
          G
Don't hesitate, it is late, ponies wait
            D7
For you and me by the trees in the dale
                                     G
Hear tom-toms beating, let's hit the trail

          C                       G  
My pretty snow deer, say you will go, dear
          D7
From your side, I'll never part
                          G
Every trail leads to your heart
             C                 G
It's time to marry, no time to tarry
       D              D7                 G  
Let me carry you from here my sweet snow deer

            G                        
The red men come, Bullets hum, there'll be some
            D7 
Left on the trail, I can't fail, cling to me
                                    G
We'll crown the story with love and glory
           G 
Now, after all, must I fall, hear my call
         D7
And fly away while we may, can't you see?
                                              G
Those ranch lights gleaming, safe there we'll be

          C                       G  
My pretty snow deer, say you will go, dear
          D7
From your side, I'll never part
                          G
Every trail leads to your heart
             C                 G
It's time to marry, no time to tarry
       D              D7                 G  
Let me carry you from here my sweet snow deer

          C                       G  
My pretty snow deer, say you will go, dear
          D7
From your side, I'll never part
                          G
Every trail leads to your heart
             C                 G
It's time to marry, no time to tarry
       D              D7                 G  
Let me carry you from here my sweet snow deer
