Rio Grande Snowman
	(written by Mike Bryant)

[Verse 1]
This tale's about a Texas boy
Down by the Rio Grande
Who'd never seen a Christmas white with snow
His mother she would smother him
With gifts on Christmas Eve
But he never got the one thing he wanted so

[Pre-Chorus]
He'd write a letter every year
To Seniore Santa Claus
For snow so he could go outside and sleigh
And build a snowman in the yard
For all the town to see
Then the little boy
He had a thought one day

[Chorus]
A snowman made with boxes
There were three, each different size
For a nose he placed a carrot
And black buttons for his eyes
A sombrarro placed upon his head
For arms, branches hanging down
The snowman that he made
Was the talk of that small town

[Verse 2]
He stacked them in the sunshine
Over by that old front porch
With ribbon on the corners, neat and clean
He laughed when neighbors gathered close
And kids all came to stare
Saw the strangest snowman that they'd ever seen

[Pre-Chorus]
Then a cool wind crossed that river
It was like a promise in the air
The whole town held its breath 
For what was yet to come
By dawn the red dirt shimmered
Snow soft and white lay on the ground
And that boy stood there smiling
That Texas boy had the grandest snowman in that town

[Chorus]
A snowman made with boxes
There were three, each different size
For a nose he placed a carrot
And black buttons for his eyes
A sombrarro placed upon his head
For arms, branches hanging down
The snowman that he made
Was the talk of that small town

[Bridge]
The tale about that Texas boy
Is still talked about today
It was magic, that old snowman, folks say
For the first time in remembrance
The biggest snow covered the sand
And a snowman stood in every yard
In that town by the Rio Grande

[Final Chorus]
A snowman made with boxes
There were three, each different size
For a nose he placed a carrot
And black buttons for his eyes
A sombrarro placed upon his head
For arms, branches hanging down
The snowman that he made
Was the talk of that small town
