LightShineFriends - Christmas Time In Louisiana Lyrics

Well, it's Christmas time in Louisiana
Where the bayou hums and life's so granda
Ain't no snow, no icy weather
But baby, we still feelin' that holiday chill

Gumbos a-cookin, jambalaya too
Fiddles playin, we know what to do
Kick off your shoes and you throw them on the floor
Dance in the kitchen till Mama and Papa
Come running through the door

Christmas don't jingle, jingle, jangle
Ain't got no sleigh bells in the snow
Down in the bayou where the gators roam
We light up the night with a Cajun glow

Families gather round, love's in the air
Swamps alive with a festive flair
No frosty windows, no mistletoe
Just a warm embrace in the bayou's glow

Grandma's laughin, rockin' in her chair
Tappin' her foot to the rhythm in the air
Uncle Joe grabs his old guitar
Pluckin' out blues by the light of a star

Little ones giggle, eyes wide with cheer
Waitin' for tales they're eager to hear
Stories of saints and midnight trains
Love and life in those Cajun refrains

Christmas don't jingle, jingle, jangle
Ain't got no sleigh bells in the snow
Down in the bayou where the gators roam
We light up the night with a Cajun glow

Families gather round, love's in the air
Swamps alive with a festive flair
No frosty windows, no mistletoe
Just a warm embrace in the bayou's glow

Time to bite the bread
Piano solo
Come on now, hit the flair
Candles flicker in mason jars

Cast in a glow beneath southern stars
Papa sings low, his voice so deep
Tellin' of angels who never sleep
We sway and clap, we shout amen

Christmas here feels like heaven again
No fancy gifts, no silent snow
Just love that root deep that continues to grow
Christmas don't jingle, jingle, jingle

Ain't got no sleigh bells in the snow
Down in the bayou where the gators roam
We light up the night with a Cajun glow
Families gather round, love's in the air

Swamps alive with a festive flair
No frosty windows, no mistletoe
Just a warm embrace in the bayou's glow
So come on down, don't be shy

Taste that joy, let the good times fly
Hear the stories, feel the beat
In this home, Christmas is complete
Ain't no snow, ain't no chill

But the warmth here will give you a thrill
Christmas don't jingle, jingle, jangle
Ain't got no sleigh bells in the snow
Down in the bayou where the gators roam

We light up the night with a Cajun glow
Families gather round, love's in the air
Swamps alive with a festive flair
No frosty windows, no mistletoe

Just a warm embrace in the bayou's glow
Where's your hand
Merry Christmas
