Lyrics The Christmas Cannonball - Hank Snow

From up the frozen Northland to the bitter covered clime
There's a train that comes a-rollin' every year at Christmastime
All the kids are in their glory when the snow begins to fall
'Cause they know it's bringin' Santa Claus and the Christmas Cannonball

It takes from the North Pole, with a jingle and a roar
It's partly run by reindeer 'til it gets to Baltimore
If you hear the cry of timber coming out of Montreal
You can start to look for Santa Claus and the Christmas Cannonball

Oh, the Christmas Cannonball
Christmas Cannonball
Jinglin'-lin'-do-do, jinglin'-do, the Christmas Cannonball

She's loaded down with nice things, mama dolls and fancy toys
But he picks out all the best things for the real good girls and boys
Then he hollers, "Merry Christmas, everybody, big and small"
'Cause he means make way for Santa Claus and the Christmas Cannonball

So listen to your mother, do the things she tells you too
If you can't be good 'til Christmas, then it's just too bad for you
Take it easy with your crying and be careful one and all
'Cause it's almost time for Santa Claus and the Christmas Cannonball

Oh, the Christmas Cannonball
Christmas Cannonball
Jinglin'-lin'-do-do, jinglin'-do, the Christmas Cannonball

The Christmas Cannonball
The Christmas Cannonball
The Christmas Cannonball
The Christmas Cannonball
