From the recording A Merry Little While
Lyrics and music by Dave Pike
Lyrics
Well the sun is shining somewhere I'm told
But these gray skies, they sure are getting old
Tired of being wet and cold and sad too
Well I've got them old long winter blues
The weather man says 6 more weeks of snow
The groundhogs can’t decide which way to go
I’m staying home and watching the news
Well I’ve got them old long winter blues
When I get dressed I wear every sweater I can
When I go outside I look like the Michelin Man
The salt’s clean eaten through my shoes
I’ve got them old long winter blues
All my friends go skiing on the weekend
But a friend who drags me skiing’s not a real friend
They say “enjoy it” but frankly, I refuse
I’ve got them old long winter blues
The weather man says 6 more months of snow
The snowplows can’t decide which way to plow
I’m staying home and watching the news
Well I’ve got them old long winter blues
