[Verse 1]
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, Georgia, there's peace on earth tonight

[Chorus]
Christmas in Dixie, it's snowing in the pines
Merry Christmas from Dixie to everyone tonight

[Verse 2]
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 a peaceful Christmas time

[Chorus]
Christmas in Dixie, it's snowing in the pines
Merry Christmas from Dixie to everyone tonight

[Verse 3]
And from Fort Payne, Alabama
God bless you all, we love ya
Happy New Year, good night, Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas tonight
