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
