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 snowin' 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 the peaceful Christmas time      Christmas in Dixie, it's snowin' in the pines   Merry Christmas from Dixie, to everyone tonight      And from Fort Payne, Alabama   And Knoxville, Tennessee   Merry Christmas tonight
