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
