Hot Buttered Rum - lyrics words
by Tommy Thompson

Note... correct lyrics below... (sugar instead of syrup)... i learned this rendition from Rosalie Sorrels and hear her sing 'syrup' instead of 'sugar'... my apologies for not knowing...

When Chimney smoke hangs still and low across the stubbled fields of snow
and angry skies reach out to seize the sorry, blackened bones of trees...

chorus... In the dead of winter when the silent snowbirds come
you are my sweet maple sugar honey - hot buttered rum...
and in the dead of winter when the silent snowbirds come
you are my sweet maple sugar honey - hot buttered rum...

When dreary Christmas decorations line the streets and filling stations
dime store santas can't disguise their empty hands and empty eyes....

chorus... In the dead of winter when those tinsel angels come
you are my sweet maple sugar honey - hot buttered rum...
and in the dead of winter when those tinsel angels come
you are my sweet maple sugar honey - hot buttered rum...

When boots and coats and woollen parkas bring cold comfort to the heart
and bitter memories freeze the tongue and songs of love remain unsung...

chorus... In the dead of winter when those cold feelings come
you are my sweet maple sugar honey - hot buttered rum...
and in the dead of winter when those cold feelings come
you are my sweet maple sugar honey - hot buttered rum...

chorus... In the dead of winter when the silent snowbirds come
you are my sweet maple sugar honey - hot buttered rum...
and in the dead of winter when the silent snowbirds come
you are my sweet maple sugar honey - hot buttered rum...
