Christmas Time Down South

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
