The Christmas Cannonball

From up the frozen northland, to the bitter covered clime There's a train that comes a rollin' every year at Christmas time All the kids are in their glory, when the snow begins to fall 'Cause they know its bringin' Santa Clause and the Christmas Cannonball It takes from the North Pole, with a jingle and a roar It's partly run by reindeer, 'till it gets to Baltimore, If you hear the cry of timber coming out of Montreal You can start to look for Santa Clause and the Christmas Cannonball It's loaded down with nice things From a doll to fancy toys And its bringing all the presents To the good little girls and boys So listen to your mothers Do the things she wants you to If you can't be good 'till Christmas Then its just too bad for you Take it easy with your cryin' And be careful one and all 'Cause its almost time for Santa Claus And the Christmas Cannonball --- The Christmas Cannonball - Hank Snow
