I'm a family man
I wasn't born to roam
But it seems like every Christmas finds me farther from my home
I love singin' my song, but it gets me down
To hang my stockin' in some hotel
When the fat man comes to town

But, it's alright, it's gonna to be okay
'Cause this year I'll be home come-a Louisiana Christmas day
Oh, mama, I'm gonna find a way
Your little boy's comin' on home to the Louisiana Christmas day

Way up in the bayou, no there won't be snow
But my friends all invite me 'round
For a Christmas fais do-do
I'm gonna hop a plane or I'll use my thumb
But you best believe I'll be 'round that tree
When Christmas morning comes

Oh, it's alright, it's gonna to be okay
Your little boy's comin' on home come-a Louisiana Christmas day
Oh, let the good times roll, le bon temps rouler
Your little boy comin' on home come-a Louisiana Christmas day

But, it's alright (alright)
It's gonna be okay (gonna be okay)
I'll be home (I'll be home)
Come-a Louisiana Christmas day
Oh, mama (mama), I'm gonna find a way (gonna find a way)
Yeah, I'll be home (I'll be home)
Come-a Louisiana Christmas day
Oh, it's gonna be alright (alright)
It's gonna be okay (gonna be okay)
I'll be home (I'll be home)
Come-a Louisiana Christmas day
Oh, mama (mama), I'm gonna find a way (gonna find a way)
Yeah, I'll be home (I'll be home)
For the Louisiana Christmas day
