Charlie Daniels Band, The - The Christmas Song Lyrics






Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you

    Merry Christmas Charlie. Listing from Lakeland,FL.

    It's 1990. NOT 1980

  3. M.... L....

    Well the creek's froze over and the geese fly high
    And the storm clouds hanging in the western 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

    [Refrain]
    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
