CHRISTMAS DOWN IN ALABAMA [Intro – Spoken, Female] Well, well, well! Christmas done made its way down South! We might not have no snow, But baby, we got plenty of soul! May Rose! Christmas 2026! [Verse 1] December rolling down that Alabama road, Mama got the heater on, fighting off the cold. Christmas lights blinking on the neighbor's front porch, Somebody burning firewood, somebody lighting a torch. Kids in the kitchen asking what we gonna eat, Mama said, "Get them little shoes off my clean feet!" Cornbread dressing and the sweet potato pie, Thanking the Lord for another year alive. [Pre-Chorus] Ain't got to have a mansion, Ain't got to have no gold, Long as love is in the house, We got something worth more! [Chorus – Gospel Choir] Christmas down in Alabama! (Oh, Alabama!) Hear them church bells ringing! (Let them ring!) From Birmingham to Mobile, Hear the Christmas people singing! Christmas down in Alabama! Where the Southern love runs deep! We got Jesus in our hearts, And some presents by the tree! [Verse 2] Grandma used to tell us, "Baby, don't you pout, Christmas ain't about what the stores done put out." It's about the little baby born in Bethlehem, And the love of the Father that came through Him. Some folks got a turkey, some got beans and rice, But sharing what you have makes the season mighty nice. From Selma to Huntsville, Montgomery too, Merry Christmas, Alabama, I'm singing this for you! [Bridge – Organ and Choir] No snow on the ground! (But joy all around!) No reindeer in sight! (But the stars shining bright!) We got love, we got grace, And a smile upon our face! [Final Chorus] Christmas down in Alabama! Let the whole state sing! Give glory to the Father, And praise the newborn King! Christmas down in Alabama, From the mountains to the sea, May the peace of Yahweh Rest on every family! [Outro – Spoken] Merry Christmas, Alabama! From May Rose! Now somebody bring me a piece of that pie!
