By now in New York City, there's snow on the ground
And out in California, the sunshines' falling down
And maybe down in Memphis, Graceland's all in lights
And in Atlanta, Georgia, there's peace on earth tonight
Christmas in Dixie, it's snowing in the pines
Merry Christmas from Dixie to everyone tonight
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
Christmas in Dixie, it's snowing in the pines
Merry Christmas from Dixie to everyone tonight
And from Fort Payne, Alabama, merry Christmas tonight
