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
