[Verse 1]
A                                   E
Well, the creeks froze over and the geese fly high
        F#m                         D
And the storm clouds hanging in the western sky
A                   E
  Everybody's got a twinkle in their eye
D                E
Out on the rural route
A                       E
Granny's in the kitchen cooking up a storm
F#m                   D
Fire in the fireplace cozy and warm
A            E                   A    E
  It must be Christmas time down South
 
[Verse 2]
A                        E
Hitching up the wagon my Daddy and me
F#m                      D
Driving to the backwoods cutting down a tree
A                      E
Take it on home to the family
      D                   E
Momma get the decorations out
A                        E
Grandpa's bringing in an armload of wood
     F#m                           D
He's grinning like a possum so you know he's feeling good
A            E                   D
  It must be Christmas time down South
 
[Chorus]
A                   D
Christmas time down South
            C#m      A
And all the joy it's bringing
G                 D
Don't it make you feel like singing
A                    C#m
Everybody's got that holiday feeling
      B              E
There just ain't any doubt
               A
'Cause there's holly in the window
E
Music in the air
F#m                         D
Manger scene setting on the courthouse square
A            E                   A
  It must be Christmas time down South
 
   A           E    D     A

[Verse 3]
A                          E
People stopping by just to say hello
      F#m                    D
Well, howdy everybody do you think it's gonna snow
A                             E
Will you stay for supper no I guess we'd better go
       D                  E
Got to get on back to the house
A                        E
People hugging necks and people shaking hands
      F#m                          D
Merry Christmas everybody come and see us when you can
A            E                   D
  It must be Christmas time down South
 
[Chorus]
A                   D
Christmas time down South
                  A
Oh, what a joyous season
   G           D
We never do forget the reason
A                C#m
Jesus Christ was born this day
    B                     E
And that's what it's all about
A                 E
Everybody smiling people on the go
      F#m                       D
Got a real warm feeling from my head to my toe
A            E                   D    A
  It must be Christmas time down South

And all the joy it's bringing
G                 D
Don't it make you feel like singing
A                    C#m
Everybody's got that holiday feeling

Music in the air

Manger scene setting on the courthouse square

  It must be Christmas time down south
