Текст пісні
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
