This might be my favorite indie Christmas song. Half of the views are mine. Nothing better than wrapping presents drinking flavored coffee and listening to Christmas music☕🎁🎄.

[@vicky8867]

Awe😄 Thanks for the 👍's whoever you beautiful people are. I would've thanked you sooner, but I don't get notices for likes for some reason. New KZbin thing I'm guessing.

I want to live in the world of Camera Obscura songs.

[@budybradley8257]

Christopher Johnson I wish the same. Top 5 of all times.

[@tombax1653]

Totally underrated group.

[@27pattywhack2]

What, freezing to death in a blizzard?

[@kelliegodwin9932]

2021 and I just heard this for the first time. At least something good has happened this year.

[@s.pearson6887]

Me too kid. Take care.

[@canoestothemoon]

Merry Christmas everyone

[@miccajames]

I'm really growing to like this band. And with this cover, it's happening even faster. Beautiful song.

[@kd7eir]

It's nearly impossible to leave me speechless, but once again Tracyanne has managed.

[@poodleypoodle]

A sad song that reminds me of wonderful things

[@optimalrefundable]

Old Dan, you did good. ❤

[@lawdy69]

I love this song, and this version - just gorgeous! Great post - thanks!!! When I first heard this I had to stop and listen as I remembered the older version by Jim Reeves. This is great...

[@Em3hre]

I love Camera Obscura

[@vicky8867]

I heard this on a alternative Christmas station on Google Play Music, but it's so good it can be played year round.

Great stuff. New category Twee Country Christmas music.

[@lawdy69]

@StoryMakersInc I have to agree with your comment. I love Jim Reeves singing this song - yet, this is indeed very special - simply beautiful!! I heard this in a Starbucks - and it stopped me in my tracks. Always loved the song - this version is stunning. Jim would indeed be proud. I can't stop listening to this rendition...

[@TerryHarrisontbh]

I am so curious as to how they came to record this particular song. Whatever the reason I am glad to see another generation exposed to Jim Reeves music.

[@reuireuiop0]

I've known it from Johnny Cash's album songs of the old west, which might have a little more edge than gentleman Jim. But how these cats ran into it .. ?

[@jmkeuning]

Gorgeous.

[@TheLikeHim]

첫눈이 오늘 서울 하늘에 울리는 소리~~ 아 좋아

[@HiHo44]

Very nice!

LYRICS There's a blizzard comin' on How I'm wishing I was home For my pony's lame And he can't hardly stand Listen to that northern sigh If we don't get home, we'll die [Chorus] But it's only seven miles to Mary Anne It's only seven miles to Mary Anne [Verse 2] You can bet we're on her mind For it's nearly Christmastime And I'll bet there's Hot biscuits in the pan Lord, my hands feel like they're froze And there's a numbness in my toes [Chorus] But it's only five more miles to Mary Anne It's only five more miles to Mary Anne [Verse 3] That wind's howlin' and it seems Mighty like a woman's screams So we'd best be movin' faster if we can Dan, just think about the barn With the hay so soft and warm [Chorus] It's only three more miles to Mary Anne It's only three more miles to Mary Anne [Verse 4] Dan, get up, you ornery cuss Or you'll be the death of us I'm so weary but I'll help you if I can Alright, Dan, perhaps it's best That we stop awhile and rest [Chorus] For it's still a hundred yards to Mary Anne It's still a hundred yards to Mary Anne [Verse 5] Late that night the storm was gone And they found him there at dawn He had made it, but he couldn't leave ol' Dan Yes, they found him there on the plains His hands froze to the reins [Chorus] He was just a hundred yards from Mary Anne He was just a hundred yards from Mary Anne
