Here's what I hear:


I'M GOING HOME, IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME
Ralph Stanley

1. The days are long. The work is hard,
All year ramblin' far away,
But I always make my way back home
To Mother and Dad on Christmas day.

CHORUS: The snow lies deep in the mountain.
The wind blows soft in the pine.
The smoke curls up from the chimney.
I'm goin' home. It's Christmas time.

2. A little wreath hangs on the door.
There's presents on the cabin floor.
Dad has trimmed the Christmas tree,
And the pathway home it welcomes me.

3. Christmas is a time of joy
When God sent down his only boy
To save us from sins and care
And bring us to our home up there.
