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
