WHEN IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME IN TEXAS
(Benny McArthur)

George Strait - 1986

Also recorded by: Rick Orozeo


When it's Christmas time in Texas
It's a very special time for me
In Texas we'll be swingin' 'round the Christmas tree
Dancin' to a Christmas melody

When it's Christmas time in Texas
It might look just like a Summer day
There may not be snow in San Antonio
But it's a Texas Christmas to me

When Santa crosses over the border
He'll sound a little diff'rent when he sings
He'll hear those twin fiddles playin'
Christmas songs with a touch of western swing
There may not be snow in San Antonio
But it's a Texas Christmas to me

When it's Christmas time in Texas
I love to hear those Christmas carolers sing
People on the go, children's faces all aglow
Wond'rin' what Santa's gonna bring

Grandpa's been chasin' Grandma around
Tryin' to catch her 'neath the mistletoe
Everything is right, the Lone Star's shinin' bright
And it's a Texas Christmas to me

When Santa crosses over the border
He'll sound a little diff'rent when he sings
He'll hear those twin fiddles playin'
Christmas songs with a touch of western swing
There may not be snow in San Antonio
But it's a Texas Christmas to me

And we're wishing you all a Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas from Texas and me
