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 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
