New Ballards Branch

White fog layin’ on a frost covered ground
Fireplace a rollin’ there ain't hardly a sound
Black cup of coffee and an old cigarette
I read the paper then I crawl back in bed
I hug the pillow where your head use to lay
I think of all the times I begged you to stay
I pull the covers up and turn toward the fire
My body shiverin’ from a frozen heart inside

It's cold down on New Ballard Branch tonight
I keep the light on and the fire burning bright
An old flame of love got blown out by the wind
I hear it howlin’ again
And it's cold tonight on New Ballard Branch

There's never been a colder winter night
The clouds are coverin’ up the moon that's shinin’ bright
The snow has covered up the place we use to lay
Don't think I'll make it through another lonesome day

It's cold down on New Ballard Branch tonight
I keep the light on and the fire burning bright
An old flame of love got blown out by the wind
I hear it howlin’ again
And it's cold tonight on New Ballard Branch

It's cold down on New Ballard Branch tonight
I keep the light on and the fire burning bright
An old flame of love got blown out by the wind
I hear it howlin’ again
And it's cold tonight on New Ballard Branch

Yes it's cold tonight on New Ballard Branch
