Mama's busy making her own decorations
Papa's cutting down a Christmas tree
And the children are all lookin' for old Santa
And everybody's waiting for the Christmas jubilee.

I'm going home, back to the mountain
Where I can hear the mountain banjo ring
I'm going home, back to the mountain
I'm coming home bow mountain 'cause it's Christmas time again.

--- Instrumental ---

I can here the banjos ringing in the mountain
Christmas time is coming through the spring
I can smell the ham a-cooking in the kitchen
I can feel the Christmas spirit when the mountain people sing

I'm going home, back to the mountain
Where I can hear the mountain banjo ring
I'm going home, back to the mountain
I'm coming home bow mountain 'cause it's Christmas time again.

I'm coming home bow mountain 'cause it's Christmas time again.
