Cabin In The Valley

Today I climbed the hillside
Through the snow-capped evergreens
Stared down in the valley
At a Christmas memory

Saw a young boy in a cabin
Hang a stocking on a nail
Peace on Earth was ours down in the vale

Christmas dinner's cooking
The turkey's golden brown
There's a big ol' fire a-blazin'
All the family's gathered 'round

Well, there's nothing quite as pretty
In the cities or the towns
As my cabin in the valley
When the snow is on the ground

My mama still plays carols
On those worn out ivory keys
And papa's hooked his old team up
To fetch the Christmas tree

I watch my boy climb on a limb
Shakin' loose the mistletoe
Just the way I did it, not so long ago

Christmas dinner's cooking
The turkey's golden brown
There's a big ol' fire a-blazin'
All the family's gathered 'round

Well, there's nothing quite as pretty
In the cities or the towns
As my cabin in the valley
When the snow is on the ground

Christmas dinner's cooking
The turkey's golden brown
There's a big ol' fire a-blazin'
All the family's gathered 'round

Well, there's nothing quite as pretty
In the cities or the towns
As my cabin in the valley
When the snow is on the ground
