Charlie Daniels Band, The - Mississippi Christmas Eve Lyrics

Well it hardly ever snows in Mississippi
And It ain't ever white at Christmas time
We don't go riding thru the snow in a one horse open sleigh

And we don't listen to the sleigh bells chime

And we ain't got big city decorations
We ain't got the tallest Christmas tree

But if good old fashioned country folks is what you're looking for

You better come on down and spend some time with me

'Cause the holly's in the window and the frost is on the vine

God is in His heaven and everythings just fine

And all our friends are droppin' by or callin on the phone
Grandma made a pumkin pie and the familys all at home

So if you come on down to Mississippi

You ain't ever gonna wanna leave

Cause there ain't no place this side of heaven like my country home

On a good old Mississippi Christmas Eve

'Cause the holly's in the window and the frost is on the vine

God is in His heaven and everythings just fine

And all our friends are droppin' by or callin on the phone
Grandma made a pumkin pie and the familys all at home

Now if you come on down to Mississippi

You won't never ever wanna leave

'Cause there ain't no place this side of heaven - like my country home

'Cause there ain't no place this side of heaven – that I've ever known

'And a good old Mississippi Christmas eve
