( Start cold )



I talked with a stranger - so sad and forlorn

His garments were sackcloth - all tattered and torn

He told me a story - of sorrow and woe

His heart went to heaven - at the first fall of snow



He spoke of his angel - a dear, baby girl

He loved every footstep - he loved every curl

But she went to heaven - just one year ago

The angels came for her - at the first fall of snow



He still had the dolly - that she used to love

He held and caressed it - and gazed up above

He whispered my baby - You're waiting, I know

I'll bring you, your dolly - at the first fall of snow



And there as I listened - my eyes filled with tears

I knew she was part of - his happier years

His frail body trembled - he spoke soft and low

I'll be with my baby - at the first fall of snow



I patted his shoulder - my feelings to hide

He couldn't know - I was crying inside

He smiled as we parted - 'cause he didn't know

That we lost our baby - at the first fall of snow

At The First Fall Of Snow

Hank Williams Jr.'s "At The First Fall Of Snow" stands as a quintessential example of his early country-rock fusion, capturing the raw energy that defined his 1969 debut album, Luke The Drifter Jr. The track showcases the young Hank's signature blend of twangy vocals and driving instrumentation, establishing the sonic template for his legendary career. Recorded during a pivotal era when he was forging a distinct path away from his father's traditional country sound, the song reflects the restless spirit of the American South. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to convey a sense of impending change and rugged individualism, hallmarks of the outlaw country movement. As a cornerstone of his discography, the recording demonstrates the artist's immediate talent for crafting memorable melodies that resonate with listeners across generations.
