Lyrics
Verse 1
I'm a family man
I wasn't born to roam
But it seems like every Christmas time I'm further from my home
I love singin' my songs
But it gets me down
To hang my stockin' in some hotel when the fat man comes to town
Chorus 1
But, it's alright, it's gonna 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' home
Come a Louisiana Christmas day
Verse 2
Way up in the bayou 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 around that tree when Christmas morning comes
Chorus 2
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 time's roll
"Les bons temps rouler"**
Your little boy's comin' on home
Come a Louisiana Christmas day
Chorus 3
Oh ho, it's alright ? alright
It's gonna be okay ? gonna be ok
I'll be home ? I'll be home
Come a Louisiana Christmas day
Oh ho, 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
Chorus 3
It's gonna be alright, It's gonna be okay
I'll be home
Come a Louisiana Christmas day
Oh, mama, I'm gonna find a way
Yeah, I'll be home
Come a Louisiana Christmas
Chorus 1
But, it's alright, it's gonna 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' home
Come a Louisiana Christmas day
