I Wonder What Makes It Snow 1904

I've studied all the ologies
and all the diff'rent sciences that's known,
I speak all the diff'rent languages,
but now all my thoughts have flown,
I know all about the sun and the moon,
I know the name of the diff'rent stars,
I've seen old Jupiter
the "dipper" too
I'm acquainted with the man from Mars,
I can tell what causes the rain to fall,
and starts the wind to blow
but I'm losing my brain
I'm almost insane
from wondering what makes it snow.

The black man makes it thunder
ev'ry time he hollers loud,
the sun draws up the water
and the rain leaks through the clouds,
The eagle wings a flapping
starts the wind to blowoooo
But there's a certain thing
that's puzzling me
I wonder what makes it snow.

The black man makes it thunder
ev'ry time he hollers loud,
the sun draws up the water
and the rain leaks through the clouds,
The eagle wings a flapping
starts the wind to blowoooo
But there's a certain thing
that's puzzling me
I wonder what makes it snow.

It was just last winter
I almost froze before
I even got an overcoat,
I butted in to
so many barroom stoves
that folks commenced
to call me goat,
and fin'ly I got
a second handed coat
they asked me
where I got my dog bed,
I said: "Never mind,
just let it snow now!"
but the sun shined out instead,
And just as soon as I pawned my coat
and to the track did go
the horse didn't win
so the coat stayed in,
next morning it commenced to snow.

The black man makes it thunder
ev'ry time he hollers loud,
the sun draws up the water
and the rain leaks through the clouds,
The eagle wings a flapping
starts the wind to blowoooo
But there's a certain thing
that's puzzling me
I wonder what makes it snow.

The black man makes it thunder
ev'ry time he hollers loud,
the sun draws up the water
and the rain leaks through the clouds,
The eagle wings a flapping
starts the wind to blowoooo
But there's a certain thing
that's puzzling me
I wonder what makes it snow.
