By now in new york city, there's snow on the ground
And out in california, the sunshine's falling down
And, maybe down in memphis, graceland's all in lights
And in atlanta, geoirgia, there's peace on earth tonight

Chorus:
Chirstmas in dixie, it's snowin' in the pines
Merry christma from dixie, to everyone tonight

It's windy in chicago. the kids are out of school
There's magic in motown. the city's on the move
In jackson, mississippi, to charlotte, caroline
And all across the nation, it's the peaceful christmas time

Chorus

And from fort payne, alabama
God bless y'all...we love ya...happy new year...good night
Merry christmas...merry christmas tonight
