Who is parson Brown and why does he have a snowman named after him?

Answer 1

Parson is a preacher
Brown, it rhymes with town
Similar rhyming words show up again in the song-clown.down

So the answer is he is no one but a name to rhyme with a word

Answer 2

"Being that a Floridan orange grower was the only well-known person by the name of "Parson Brown" at the time the song was composed, one can assume that "Parson" is used as a title, instead of a first name. In the period when this song was written, parsons (now known as a Protestant minister) often travelled among small rural towns to perform wedding ceremonies for denominational followers who did not have a local minister of their faith. Therefore, the children are most likely pretending that their snowman is a Parson with the surname "Brown," which would be visiting the town again in the future."

Answer 3

First thing's first: the snowman isn't NAMED after Parson Brown. The song's protagonists are pretending the snowman IS Parson Brown. It implies that they want to be married someday, but aren't yet. Parson Brown, of course, is the pastor of Wonderland Baptist Church, which we know because the word "parson" is a synonym of "pastor," and they're in a Winter wonderland.

Answer 4

Searching the etymology of the word parson it may be an abbreviation of persona ecclesiae which means a person of the church. A Parson is much like a Pastor or Reverend.
