[Verse 1]
Now when the wind don't blow in Amarillo
And the moon along the Gunnison don't rise
Shall I cast my dreams upon your love, babe
And lie beneath the laughter of your eyes?

[Chorus]
Oh, snowin' on Raton
Come morning I'll be through them hills and gone

[Verse 2]
My mother thinks the road is long and lonely
Little brother thinks the road is straight and fine
Little darling thinks the road is soft and lovely
I'm thankful that old road's a friend of mine

[Chorus]
Snowin' on Raton
Come morning I'll be through them hills and gone

[Verse 3]
Now bid the years goodbye, you cannot still them
Cannot turn the circles of the sun
Cannot count the miles until you feel them
You cannot hold the lover that is gone
[Chorus]
Snowin' on Raton
Come morning I'll be through them hills and gone

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
Tomorrow the mountains will be sleeping
Silently the blanket green and blue
Ah, but I shall hear the silence they are keeping
I'll bring all of their promises to you

[Chorus]
Snowin' on Raton
Come morning I'll be through them hills and gone
Ah, snowin' on Raton
Come morning I'll be through them hills and gone
