Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Christmas time's a-comin'

Christmas time's a-comin'

Christmas time's a-comin'

And I know I'm goin' home

[Verse 2]

Snowflakes a-fallin'

My old home's a-callin'

Tall pines a-hummin'

Christmas time's a-comin'

[Verse 3]

Can't you hear them bells ringin', ringin'?

Joy to all, hear them singin'

When it's snowin' I'll be goin' back to my country home

[Verse 4]

Christmas time's a-comin'

Christmas time's a-comin'

Christmas time's a-comin'

And I know I'm goin' home

[Verse 5]

Holly's in the window

Home's where the wind blows

Can't walk for runnin'

Christmas time's a-comin'

[Verse 6]

Can't you hear them bells ringin', ringin'?

Joy to all, hear them singin'

When it's snowin' I'll be goin' back to my country home

[Verse 7]

Christmas time's a-comin'

Christmas time's a-comin'

Christmas time's a-comin'

And I know I'm goin' home

[Verse 8]

White candles burnin'

My old heart's a-yearnin'

For the folks at home when

Christmas time's a-comin'

[Verse 9]

Can't you hear them bells ringin', ringin'?

Joy to all, hear them singin'

When it's snowin' I'll be goin' back to my country home

[Verse 10]

Christmas time's a-comin'

Christmas time's a-comin'

Christmas time's a-comin'

And I know I'm goin' home

[Verse 11]

Christmas time's a-comin'

Christmas time's a-comin'

Christmas time's a-comin'

And I know I'm goin' home
