when the wind don t blow in amarillo when the moon along the gunnison don t rise and i cast my dreams upon your love babe and lie beneath the laughter of your eyes snowin on raton come morning i ll be through them hills and gone snowin on raton come morning i ll be through them hills and gone mother thinks the road is long and lonely little brother thinks the road is straight and fine little darlin thinks the road is soft and lovely i m thankful that ole road s a friend of mine snowin on raton come morning i ll be through them hills and gone snowin on raton come morning i ll be through them hills and gone i ll bid the years goodbye you cannot steal them you cannot turn the circles of the sun you cannot count the miles until you feel them you cannot hold a lover that is gone snowin on raton come morning i ll be through them hills and gone snowin on raton come morning i ll be through them hills and gone tomorrow the mountains will be sleepin silent neath the blanket green and blue and i shall hear the silence they are keepin and i ll bring all their promises to you snowin on raton come morning i ll be through them hills and gone snowin on raton come morning i ll be through them hills and gone
