I'm a family man
I wasn't born to roam
But it seems
like every Christmas time
It makes me farther from my home
I love singin' my song,
but it get's 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
This year I'll be home come
a Louisiana Christmas day
Oh, mama, I'm gonna find a way
Your little boy comin' on home
to the Louisiana Christmas day

Way up in the bayou
there won't be snow
But my friends
all invite my 'round
For a Christmas fay do-do
I'm gonna hop a plane
or use my thumb
But you best believe
I'll be 'round that tree
When Christmas morning comes

Oooh, it's alright,
it's gonna to be okay
Your little boy comin' on home
to the Louisiana Christmas day
Your little boy comin' on home
to the 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

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
