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 mountains
Where I can hear the mountain banjo ring
I'm going home back to the mountains
I'm coming home Bow Mountain 'cause it's Christmas time again

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 coming home Bow Mountain 'cause it's Christmas time again
