lyrics

You should’ve seen that Nor'easter snow
Could’ve put out the fire in hell below
We were just watchin’ that wind come down
As it took that old timber frame to the ground

Splinter by splinters left the nails to rust
Now momma don’t talk unless she’s spoken to first

Oh Oh it got so cold
The hickory snapped and the birches bowed
Oh Oh the whole place froze
From Maine to Lake Ontario

The Dorian Grey was mighty fine ship
She took to breachin’ when her engines quit
We could see her lights bouncin’ in the waves
Before they disappeared into a watery grave

I hear the voices of the mariner’s wives crying
They were too late to save and too soon for dying

Oh Oh it got so cold
The hickory snapped and the birches bowed
Oh Oh the whole place froze
From Maine to Lake Ontario
