THISTLEHAIR THE CHRISTMAS BEAR
(Donny Lowery)

Alabama - 1985


The city's full of manger scenes
And stores lit up in red and green
But down the road just out of town
There's more magic to be found
The countryside is all aglow
With holly trees and mistletoe
And in them woods there lives a bear
Known to all as Thistlehair

Oh, Thistlehair the Christmas bear
Spreading the good news everywhere
About Christmas time and what it means
To all the children of the World
Every little boy and girl out there
Loves Thistlehair

He comes around this time of year
Spreading lots of Christmas cheer
The kids all love his shiny coat
And the smell of honey on his nose
He tells them all about the star
And everything that it stands for
The birthday we all celebrate
Is still our fav'rite holiday

Oh, Thistlehair the Christmas bear
Spreading the good news everywhere
About Christmas time and what it means
To all the children of the Wworld
Every little boy and girl out there
Loves Thistlehair

Wherever you find old Thistlebear
There'll be music in the air
He dances 'round the Christmas tree
Every single New Year's eve
Then he and all his furry friends
Gather 'round the fire again
And sing about those Angel wings
Gifts of love that Christmas brings

Oh, Thistlehair the Christmas bear
Spreading the good news everywhere
About Christmas time and what it means
To all the children of the World
Every little boy and girl out there
Loves Thistlehair

Thistlehair the Christmas bear
