Old Man Winter - Shannon and the Clams

Don’t go hunting in the woods today

Old man winter is on his way

He wants to put you in his little maze

He’d like to keep you in a snow globe cage

Let me tell you what is good for you

I’ll be the only wolf who’ll tell you true

A little secret from the forest to you

It ain’t winter and he’s come too soon

Don’t get lost in the fallin' snow

Don’t you walk where the trees don’t grow

Don’t you open your mama’s door

Well he’ll follow tracks where you’ve been before

It’s gonna be dark, I can tell by the coyote’s bark

It’s gonna be dark

Don’t you walk down the path you know

A frozen breeze is sure to blow

Follow me into this wooded grove

Take this road through the tree stump hole

A little girl with a golden chain

Into my den, she found her way

She might up on a dinner tray

What happens next, well no one can say

Don’t get lost in the fallin' snow

Don’t you walk where the trees don’t grow

Don’t you open your mama’s door

Well he’ll follow tracks where you’ve been before

It’s gonna be dark, I can tell by the coyote’s bark

It’s gonna be dark
