Key: C# minor
Verse 1
E5
Twas in the year of our Lord 1855
The snow lay thick far and wide
Over rooftops through the fields
Did Satan leave his mark?
Something evil passed thy way
Twas a creature of the dark
Send him back from whence
he came
There rose up the hew and cry
Protect thy self from fear and pain
