CHRISTMAS TIME'S A-COMING
Words and music by Tex Logan
As recorded by Emmylou Harris on "Light of the Stable" (Warner Bros. Records 4468, 1980)

Christmas time's a-comin'.
Christmas time's a-comin'.
Christmas time's a-comin'
And I know I'm goin' home.

Snowflakes a-fallin',
My old home's a-callin',
Tall pines a-hummin',
Christmas time's a-comin'.

Can't you hear them bells ringin', bringin'
Joy to all? Hear them singin'!
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 goin' home.

Holly's in the window.
Home's where the wind blows.
Can't walk for runnin'.
Christmas time's a-comin'.

Can't you hear them bells ringin', bringin'
Joy to all? Hear them singin'!
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 goin' home.

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 ringin', bringin'
Joy to all? Hear them singin'!
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 goin' home.
