[Verse 1] (Conway and twitty bird)
G                                              D
A week just before Christmas way down in Louisian
G
A little boy was kneeling by his bed
G
In a manner poised and grand
G                                     G7                  C
I listened as he said his prayers his voice came soft and low
                    G           D             G
He said go tell St. Nicholas to send a little snow


[Chorus] (Conway and twitty bird)
                 D                  G
Please send some snow some snow for Johnny
         D               G
So I can build a big snowman


[Verse 2] (Conway)
G
In my pictures mister snowman
                     D
Always looks big and fat
D
If you'll just send a little snow
     D7                  G
I'll build one just like that

(Twitty bird)
G
But answer me one question
              G7      C
And then I'll let you go
                  G
How can I build a snowman
           D        G
If I don't have any snow


[Chorus] (Conway and twitty bird)
                 D                  G
Please send some snow some snow for Johnny
         D               G
So I can build a big snowman

[Verse 3] (Conway)
G
I'd like to build a snowman
                    D
Like other children do
D
I gotta an old top hat got a walking cane
                     G
Got a big long cigar too
                        G7             C
Everything is ready and I'm all set to go
                  G            D7          G
How can I build a snowman if I haven't any snow


[Chorus] (Conway and twitty bird)
                 D                  G
Please send some snow some snow for Johnny
         D               G
So I can build a big snowman


[Verse 4] (twitty bird)
G                                          D
Now early Christmas morning much to his surprise
                                                G
Snowflakes by the million were falling from the skies

(Conway)
                                    G7               C
Down the stairs and out-of-doors as fast as he could go
                    G            D             G
So happy that Saint Nicholas had sent a little snow

[Chorus] (twitty bird)
               D                 G
Thanks for the snow the snow for Johnny
           D               G   G
