Tall in the saddle we spend Christmas day [C G D7 Em]

Drivin' the cattle on the snow-covered plains. [C G D7 G]

All of the good gifts given today; [C G D7 Em]

Ours is the sky and the wide open range. [C G D7 G]

Back in the cities, they have different ways, Football and eggnog and

Christmas parades. I'll take the blanket; I'll take the reins; Christmas for

Cowboys and wide open plains.

A campfire for warmth as we stop for the night; The stars overhead are the

Christmas-tree lights. The wind sings a hymn as we bow down to pray;

Christmas for Cowboys and the wide open plains.

It's tall in the saddle we spend Christmas Day, Drivin' the cattle on the

snow-covered plains. So many gifts have been opened today; Ours is the sky

and the wide open range. It's Christmas for Cowboys and wide open plains.
