Christmas time's a comin' and I know I'm going home
Snowflakes are fallin' my old home's a callin'
Tall pines are humming Christmas time's a comin'
Can't you hear them bells ringing ringin' joy joy hear them singin'
When it's snowing I'll be going back to my country home
Christmas time's a comin' and I know I'm going home
White candles burnin' my old heart's a yearnin'
For the folks at home when Christmas time's a comin'
Can't you hear them bells ringing ringin' joy joy hear them singin'
When it's snowing I'll be going back to my country home
Christmas time's a comin' Christmas time's a comin'

Hollies in the window home where the wind blows
I can't walk for runnin' Christmas time's a comin'
Can't you hear them bells ringing ringin' joy joy hear them singin'
When it's snowing I'll be going back to my country home

@LebSista
I hear the train a comin'
It's rolling round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine since
I don't know when,
I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' on
But that train keeps a rollin' on down to San Antone
When I was just a baby my mama told me
"Son, always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns"
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry
š¶šøš¶šøš¶šøš¶
I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars
Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
But those people keep a movin'
And that's what tortures me
š¶šøš¶šøš¶šøš¶
Well if they freed me from this prison
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line
Far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to stay
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away

I hear the train a comin'
It's rollin' 'round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine
Since, I don't know when
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
And time keeps draggin' on
But that train keeps a-rollin'
On down to San Antone
When I was just a baby
My Mama told me, "Son
Always be a good boy
Don't ever play with guns"
But I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowin'
I hang my head and cry
I bet there's rich folks eatin'
In a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee
And smokin' big cigars
But I know I had it comin'
I know I can't be free
But those people keep a-movin'
And that's what tortures me
If they freed me from this prison
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move out over a little
Farther down the line
Far from Folsom Prison
That's where I want to stay
And I'd let that lonesome whistle
Blow my blues away.
So Great!

A couple of days ago I saw a guy with a black T-shirt with a large picture of John, which said in fancy letters "Johnny Cash / The Man in Black". My first thought would be "John would not approve."
