Christmas In Dixie feat. Alabama
Ronnie Milsap · Christmas in Dixie (Ronnie Milsap & Alabama) [1997]
(Randy Owen/Teddy Gentry/Jeff Cook/Mark Herndon)
By now in New York City
There's snow on the ground
And out in California
The sunshines' falling down
And maybe down in Memphis, Graceland's all in lights
And in Atlanta, Georgia, there's peace on earth tonight.
Christmas in Dixie, it's snowing in the pines
Merry Christmas from Dixie to everyone tonight.
Its windy in Chicago
The kids are out of school
There's magic in Motown
The city's on the move
In Jackson, Mississippi to Charlotte, Caroline
And all across the Nation, it's a peaceful Christmas time.
Christmas in Dixie, it's snowing in the pines
Merry Christmas from Dixie, to everyone tonight
And from Fort Payne, Alabama.
(spoken)
God bless you all, We love ya,
Happy New Year, Good night, Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas tonight...
