Artist/Band: Hank Snow
Lyrics for Song: The Christmas Cannonball
Lyrics for Album: The Singing Ranger, Vol. 3 [Bear Family (Germany)] [1994]



From up the frozen northland

To the bitter covered clime

There's a train that comes a rollin'

Every year at Christmas time.



All the kids are in their glory,

When the snow begins to fall

'Cause they know it's bringin' Santa Clause

And the Christmas Cannonball



It takes from the North Pole

With a jingle and a roar

It's partly run by reindeer

Till it gets to Baltimore.



If you hear the cry of timber

Coming out of Montreal

You can start to look for Santa Clause

And the Christmas Cannonball.



It's loaded down with nice things

From a doll to fancy toys

And its bringing all the presents

To the good little girls and boys.



So listen to your mothers

Do the things she wants you to

If you can't be good till christmas

Then its just too bad for you.



Take it easy with your cryin'

And be careful one and all

'Cause it's almost time for Santa Claus

And the Christmas Cannonball...
