Lyrics
(American folk song)
1. As I walked out one holiday,
The flakes of snow did fall.
And all the children in the school
Were out a-playing ball.
2. A little boy threw his ball so high,
He threw his ball so low,
He threw it in a dusky garden
Among the blades of snow.
3. Out came the neighbor’s youngest daughter
All dressed in fairy green.
“Come in, come in, my lad,” she said,
“You may have your ball again.”
