lyrics

There's frost on the windows, there's frost on the doors
It's minus 45 outside, with the windchill 54
I ain't never seen the likes of such a cold winter before
I went to feed the horses and the dogs don't feed themselves
So I dressed up like an Eskimo though it didn't seem to help
If Jackfrost is the devil, then Manitoba must be hell
If Jackfrost is the devil, then Manitoba must be hell

I got frostbite on my fingers, I got frostbite on my toes
There’s icicles in my beard and I cannot feel my nose
It’s almost minus 55 outside; This Christmas is fixin’ to be cold
It’s Christmas Eve and I should have my feet up by a fire
Sippin’ on some eggnog, doing puzzles, wasting time
But I got animals to feed and they don’t understand what Christmas means
If Jackfrost is the devil, then Manitoba must be hades

I went to start the Chevy, but it just gave a click and a whine
Even though the blockheater had been working overtime
And when I went to go inside, well, I left my keys behind
Now I’m locked out of my Chevy and I’m locked out of my house
I got a lot of chores to do, but my mood is getting foul
It looks like I might be spending Christmas with the cows
If Jackfrost is the devil, then Manitoba must be hell

If Jackfrost is the devil, then Manitoba must be hell
If Jackfrost is the devil, then Manitoba must be hell
I swear that Jackfrost, he’s the devil, and Manitoba is hell

Steel Audrey is a country-folk artist with a “rustic, old world sound packaged inside the cargo car of a freight train...” (Songoid). His ability to tell a story through song is reminiscent of Kristofferson, Dylan and Springsteen. His blue-collar origins are evident in both narrative and delivery .."extra powerful and raspy... It’s not a pretty picture, but then, life never is.” (Greyowl Point) ... more
