Well it hardly ever snows in Mississippi
And It ain't ever white at Christmas time
We don't go riding thru the snow in a one horse open sleigh
And we don't listen to the sleigh bells chime
And we ain't got big city decorations
We ain't got the tallest Christmas tree
But if good old fashioned country folks is what you're looking for
You better come on down and spend some time with me
'Cause the holly's in the window and the frost is on the vine
God is in His heaven and everythings just fine
And all our friends are droppin' by or callin on the phone
Grandma made a pumkin pie and the familys all at home
So if you come on down to Mississippi
You ain't ever gonna wanna leave
Cause there ain't no place this side of heaven like my country home
On a good old Mississippi Christmas Eve
'Cause the holly's in the window and the frost is on the vine
God is in His heaven and everythings just fine
And all our friends are droppin' by or callin on the phone
Grandma made a pumkin pie and the familys all at home
Now if you come on down to Mississippi
You won't never ever wanna leave
'Cause there ain't no place this side of heaven - like my country home
'Cause there ain't no place this side of heaven – that I've ever known
'And a good old Mississippi Christmas eve
