Thread Name: Your favourite Christmas songs
Subject: Lyr Add: WE'RE GONNA SING and COWBOY CHRISTMAS
Connie Kaldor and Bim do one on their New songs for an old celebration
called We're Gonna Sing, which includes titles of many carols..all
rolled into one...
it goes thusly:
WE'RE GONNA SING
From Connie Kaldor and Bim
New Songs for an Old Season

If you see us coming up the walk,
Better run & open the door,
Put the shortbread on the plate,
Get the eggog ready to pour,
And get your voices ready,
Cuz you're gonna want to sing along,
When you hear those neighborhood carollers,
Sing your favorite Christmas songs.

CHORUS
We're gonna sing Joy to the World,
We're gonna sing Hark the Herald,
We're gonna sing Deck the Halls,
And It Came Upon a Midnite Clear,
We're gonna sing every Christmas Carol,
That we can remember,
We're gonna end with a Merry Christmas,
and a Happy New Year.

Some of us can sing in tune,
The others sing loud and clear,
We've got a version of We Three Kings,
You've really got to hear.

Bless the house that has welcomed us,
And shared its Christmas cheer,
Joy to all of the hearts within,
All throughout the year.
Good luck to all of us carollers,
As down the road we go,
May we be warmed by the toddy,
And the joys of the mistletoe.

CHORUS

also (this is my favorite holilday collection of music)
they do another one on teh same album:

COWBOY CHRISTMAS

BY CONNIE KALDOR AND ROY (BIM) FORBES

Christmas can be lonely for the cowboy,
The nearest neighbor is miles away,
If the night is clear you put a jingle in the harness,
And hitch old Nellie to the one horse sleigh.

    CHORUS
    So sing me Ki Yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay
    Wish me well if you are able
    Ki Yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay
    Remember that our Savior was born in a stable
    Ki Yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay
    I wish you all a Cowboy Christmas

Now when Mary and Joseph came into the city,
Rich folks didn't have room for them to stay;
So Mary had her baby in a lowly stable,
Cattle and horses wouldn't turn the Lord away.

    CHORUS

Now there's some that turn their noses up at Cowboys,
We're rowdy and we're scruffy, we're not high society,
But remember that the angels chose to sing for shepherds,
And shepherds were the cowboys of Galilee.
