A Smoky Mountain Christmas Lyrics
Dolly Parton
Lyrics
I'm dreamin' of a Smoky Mountain Christmas
With the kids around the fireplace stringing popcorn for the tree
I'm dreamin' of a Smoky Mountain Christmas
With nothin' much that money buys but everything worthwhile in life
Dreamin' of a Smoky Mountain Christmas
You can take the girl from the country, I have heard 'em say
But you'll never take the country from the girl
And me, I've been a rambler for the better part of life
But no matter where I ramble in this world
I keep dreamin' of a cabin in my Smoky Mountain home
Rememberin' my life there as a child
Just as free as the butterflies, the hummingbirds, and streams
As different as the snowflakes on the windows of my life
And I'm dreamin' of a Smoky Mountain Christmas
With the kids around the fireplace makin' angels for a tree
I'm dreamin' of a Smoky Mountain Christmas
With nothin' much that money buys but everything worthwhile in life
Dreamin' of a Smoky Mountain Christmas
Yes, I'm dreamin' of a Smoky Mountain Christmas
With the kids around the fireplace stringing popcorn for the tree
I'm dreamin' of a Smoky Mountain Christmas
With nothin' much that money buys but everything worthwhile in life
Dreamin' of a Smoky Mountain Christmas
Yes, I'm dreamin' of a Smoky Mountain Christmas
