| Well the creek’s froze over and the geese fly high
|
| And the storm clouds hanging in the westtern sky
|
| Everybody’s got a twinkle in their eye
|
| Out on the rural route
|
| Granny’s in the kitchen cooking up a storm
|
| Fire in the fireplace cozy and warm
|
| It must be Christmas time down South
|
| Hitching up the wagon my Daddy and me
|
| Driving to the backwoods cutting down a tree
|
| Take it on home to the family
|
| Momma get the decorations out
|
| Grandpa’s bringing in an armload of wood
|
| He’s grinning like a possum so you know he’s feeling good
|
| It must be Christmas time down South
|
| Christmas time down South
|
| And all the joy it’s bringing
|
| Don’t it make you feel like singing
|
| Everybody’s got that holiday feeling
|
| There just ain’t any doubt
|
| 'Cause there’s holly in the window
|
| Music in the air
|
| Manger scene setting on the courthouse square
|
| It must be Christmas time down South
|
| People stopping by just to say hello
|
| Well howdy everybody do you think it’s gonna snow
|
| Will you stay for supper no I guess we’d better go
|
| Got to get on back to the house
|
| People hugging necks and people shaking hands
|
| Merry Christmas everybody come and see us when you can
|
| It must be Christmas time down South
|
| Christmas time down South
|
| Oh what a joyous season
|
| We never do forget the reason
|
| Jesus Christ was born this day
|
| And that’s what it’s all about
|
| Everybody smiling people on the go
|
| Got a real warm feeling from my head to my toe
|
| It must be Christmas time down South
|
| Christmas time down South
|
| And all the joy it’s bringing
|
| Don’t it make you feel like singing
|
| Everybody’s got that holiday feeling
|
| There just ain’t any doubt
|
| 'Cause there’s holly in the window
|
| Music in the air
|
| Manger scene setting on the courthouse square
|
| It must be Christmas time
|
| It’s gotta be time Christmas time
|
| It must be Christmas time down south |
