Don Edwards - Deep water ice and snow

^CDeep water, ^Fice and snow And with a ^Gthousand cattle, ^Cwe had to go To get the cattle to the ^Fother side You can ^Gbet your life we had to ^Cride

^CNow the railroad was ^Fbut a mile away But ^Gsome men and horses ^Cwould die that day We held the herd on a ^Fridge close by As ^Gthe north wind blew ^Cthe snowflakes by

^CWell we were all chilled ^Four bodies thru But ^Gfrom cold or fear, ^Cnobody knew So we lit us a smoke and ^Fwe watched her blow Now ^Gslack your cinches, ^Cwe gotta go

^CDeep water, ^Fice and snow And with a ^Gthousand cattle ^Cwe had to go

^CWell I pointed the men and ^Fwe hit her fast But ^Gour luck by now was ^Ca fadin fast That man was a talkin ^Ffrom down below As ^Gmy horse and I were ^Cnext to go

^CWell my horse turned over and ^FI floated free But ^Gthe waves was so high, ^CI couldn't see Then my horse swam by and ^FI grabbed his tail He ^Gdragged me outa that ^Cicy hell

^CDeep water, ^Fice and snow And with a ^Gthousand cattle ^Cwe had to go

^CWell I'll never forget ^Fthat terrible day When ^Ggrown men cried and ^CI heard some pray We crossed the cattle ^Fto the other side Just ^Gto save a ^Cvain mans pride

^CWell the hell I've seen was ^Fmighty cold But ^Gthe other kinds worse ^Cor so I'm told Well I just hope ^Fwhen I have to go It ^Gain't in deep water, ^Cice or snow

^CDeep water, ^Fice and snow And with a ^Gthousand cattle ^Cwe had to go To get the cattle to ^Fthe other side You ^Gcan bet your life we had to ^Cride
