Early Snow In Yankee Land

Early Snow in Yankee Land By Elton Camp How glad I am to live in the Sunny South Though I must hear, “Well shut my mouth.” “Youse guys” have an early start this fall October snow has knocked out power & all With heavy, wet snow and gusting wind Limbs have fallen on power lines again Your planes can’t fly & your cars can’t roll So on your lives it is taking a heavy toll You can’t depend on trains to get you back Downed trees and signals stopped Amtrak If you Yankees retire & don’t need to earn Move South and do yourself a good turn As long as a tornado doesn’t blow you away You’ll find the South a far better place to stay
