lyrics
Snowflake
Rod Hall & Kevin Adams
Our old horse, she’s a good old mare
In any kind of weather she will lead you there
From Stratford in the summer sun, Beachampton in the snow-
Taking the long way home.
White as the snow, she’s a gentle soul.
Farmer Fountaine says she’s worth her weight in gold
Eighteen hands, a powerhouse of muscle and of bone…
Taking the long way home
Taking the long way home.
Taking the long way, I know it’s not the wrong way,
For Snowflake is the finest horse that ever I have known,
Taking the long way home.
We like to rise on a warm summer's day
Early to the mowing and the sweet fresh hay
An eye upon them thunder clouds, hope they keep away
Taking the long way home.
Harvest time, it's the crown of the year
We've mowed and carted all the corn, the fields are clear
Snowflake's earned her extra mash, the men have earned their beer-
Taking the long way home.
