Goin' Home For Christmas Lyrics - Merle Haggard

My family called me on the phone and said 

"Grandpa would you come home?" 

We'd love to have you here on Christmas day 

We know you won't get on a plane 

But grandpa you can ride a train 

You can see the scenery along way" 

Going home for Christmas 

Coming on a train 

Got my big red knapsack loaded down 

Going home for Christmas 

Coming on a train 

Soon, I'll be rolling into town 

I know everybody there will be happy 

And they'd be down to meet me 

When they hear the whistle sound 

I know my one-horse stage will be waiting 

On the choo-choo bringing Santa Claus to town 

Going home for Christmas 

Coming on a train 

Got my big red knapsack loaded down 

Going home for Christmas 

Coming on a train 

Soon, I'll be rolling into town 

Going home for Christmas 

Coming on a train 

Got my big red knapsack loaded down 

Going home for Christmas 

Coming on a train 

Soon, I'll be rolling into town 

Going home for Christmas 

Hey, so good to see you all
