Stanley) From: GUEST,Robin H Christmas is coming, and I'm trying to figure out the lyrics to the song "I'm going home, it's Christmas time" by Ralph Stanley. Have some trouble with a few lines on this Ralph Stanley song. Would be glad if anyone could help. You can listen to the song here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjG3caq2Erw I'M GOING HOME, IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME Ralph Stanley The days are long the work is hard All________________________far away But I always make it way back home To mother and dad on Christmas day The snow lies deep in the mountain The wind blows soft in the pines The smoke curls up from the chimney I'm going home, it's Christmas time A little wreath is on the door There's presents on the cabin floor _______________the Christmas tree And the pathway home welcomes me Christmas is a time of joy ___________________________ To save us from sins and care And bring us to our home up there |

Stanley) From: Melissa I keep listening (don't ever remember hearing it before and I like it!) and still can't catch that second line. I think the meaning is about work being away from home..rambling around on the job. That's how it goes in my head, anyway, and that's what I'll finagle the words to say when I get around to learning it well enough to sing. |

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. |
