IT’S SO COLD! (to the tune of Down to the River to Pray)
Adaptation by: Garrison Keillor, Joe Newberry and The Guy's All-Star Shoe Band for
Prairie Home Companion
(“Traditional” Minnesota hymn)
D D
When I went out to start my car
A7 D
It was so cold that it hurt my face
D D
My car wouldn’t start when I turned the key
G D
Good Lord it is so cold
A7 D
O mother it’s so cold,
G D
it’s so cold, it’s so cold
A7 D
O mother it’s so cold,
G D
trying to start my car
D D
I asked my neighbor to jump my car
A7 D
We got out the cables, hooked them to the posts
D D
I turned the key and it made no sound
G D
Good Lord it is so cold

A7 D
O father it’s so cold,
G D
it’s so cold, it’s so cold
A7 D
O father it’s so cold,
G D
trying to jump my car
D D
When I went down to the corner bus stop
A7 D
To wait for the bus to go downtown
D D
I wish I’d worn a hat and scarf
G D
Good Lord it is so cold
A7 D
O brother it’s so cold,
G D
it’s so cold, it’s so cold
A7 D
O brother it’s so cold,
G D
down at the corner bus stop
D D
I waited and waited for the bus to come
A7 D
Along with six other refugees
D D
We looked down the street, the empty street
G D
Good Lord it is so cold
A7 D
O sister, it’s so cold,
G D
it’s so cold, it’s so cold
A7 D
O sister it’s so cold,
G D
waiting for the bus to come
D D
I sometimes think of Santa Fe,
A7 D
Santa Fe and a beautiful day
D D
Sitting in an outdoor café
G D
In my gold lame’
A7 D
O mother let’s go down,
G D
Let’s go down, come on down
A7 D
O mother let’s go down
G D
Down to Santa Fe.
