I'm Going Home, It's Christmas Time

I'm Going Home It's Christmas Time
Written and recorded by Ralph Stanley

The days are long (days are long)
The work is hard (work is hard)
All year round (all year round) and far away
But I always make (always make) my way back home
(Way back home)
To mother and dad (to mother and dad)
On Christmas day

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 (I'm going home)
It's Christmas time


A little wreath (little wreath)
Hangs on the door (on the door)
There's presents on (there's presents on)
The cabin floor

Dad has trimmed (dad has trimmed)
The Christmas tree (Christmas tree)
And the pathway home (the pathway home)
It welcomes me

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 (I'm going home)
It's Christmas time

Christmas is (Christmas is)
A time of joy (time of joy)
When God sent down (God sent down)
His only Boy
To save us from (save us from)
Sins and care (sins and care)
And bring us to (brings us to)
Our home up there

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 (I'm going home)
It's Christmas time
I'm goin' home (I'm going home)
It's Christmas time
