Christmas Time's A-Comin'

Bill Anderson · No Place Like Home on Christmas [Varese] [2002]

(Tex Logan)



Christmas time's a comin'

Christmas time's a comin'

Christmas time's a comin'

And I know I'm going home.



Snowflakes are fallin'

My old home's a callin'

Tall pines are hummin'

Christmas time's a comin'.



Can't you hear

Them bells ringing

Ringing joy, joy

Hear them singing.



When it's snowin'

I'll be goin'

Back to my

Country home.



Christmas time's a comin'

Christmas time's a comin'

Christmas time's a comin'

And I know I'm going home.



--- Instrumental ---



White candles burnin'

My old heart's a yearnin'

For the folks at home

When Christmas time's a comin'.



Can't you hear

Them bells ringing

Ringing joy, joy

Hear them singing.



When it's snowin'

I'll be goin'

Back to my

Country home.



--- Instrumental ---



Hollies in the window

Home where the wind blows

I can't walk for runnin'

Christmas time's a comin'.



Can't you hear

Them bells ringing

Ringing joy, joy

Hear them singing.



When it's snowin'

I'll be goin'

Back to my

Country home.



Christmas time's a comin'

Christmas time's a comin'

Christmas time's a comin'

And I know I'm going home.



Christmas time's a comin'

Christmas time's a comin'

Christmas time's a comin'

And I know I'm going home...
