It’s Christmas Time Down In Dixie

Chorus:
It’s Christmas time down in dixie
Down below that Mason-Dixon line
There’s banjos pickin’ - an’ the chicken’s finger lickin’
An’ Santas on his way with his reindeer one to nine
Yes - it’s Christmas time down in Dixie
In Southern stompin’ central standard time!

His reindeer are prancin’ round the planet
Comet hears a guitar pickin’ low
Cupid likes the mandolin’s sweet playin’
Dancer likes to hear the fiddle and the bow

Blitzen hears the stand-up bass a-thumpin’
As Santa’s sled goes zipping town to town
 
Dasher digs the dobro’s fancy pickin’
And donder likes the banjo’s ringin’ sound
(Solo of Full Chorus)

And Vixen, well he’s tappin’ out a tempo
Those four-four reindeer feet are clinkin’ clear
An’ Rudolph leads the nine over Nashville
Deep in Dixie - they all know that Santa’s near!

Santa knows there’s still problems in the southland
Alabama - Mississippi - Louisian
The folks lost their homes and their posessions  
Santa’s says let’s help them out any way you can  (Chorus:)

Santa covers every state in the Union
Hears tunes and rhythms - songs of every kind
But there ain’t no better beat in the nation
Than that Bluegrass past the Mason-Dixon line

When Santa hears that pedal steel a-singin’
Tosses bundles ‘bout fast as he can go
Wants to fly back real fast to the North Pole
Ms. santa’s got hot chocolate waitin’ by a nice warm stove
(Full Chorus:) + (Tag: of lst two lines of Chorus:)
