Hearthside Sleigh

Lyrics

[Verse 1] In the Sussex dark, I see Your boots by the holly tree You come in red and snow With cheeks all aglow By the fire, soft and low You shake the frost from your coat And I hear the bells begin As you step right in [Pre-Chorus] Oh, Father Christmas Keep me near Oh, Father Christmas Bring the cheer [Chorus] Father Christmas, come on in Father Christmas, let it spin Big sack swinging at your side Full of joy you cannot hide Father Christmas, sing it clear Father Christmas, draw me near Big sack full of golden things Laughing while the whole room sings [Verse 2] There’s a mouse in the skirting board And a plum cake on the old pine board The fiddle hums a sleepy tune Under the silver moon You tiptoe past the stockings hung With a grin still warm and young And you leave a trail of light Through the winter night [Pre-Chorus] Oh, Father Christmas Stay awhile Oh, Father Christmas Wear that smile [Chorus] Father Christmas, come on in Father Christmas, let it spin Big sack swinging at your side Full of joy you cannot hide Father Christmas, sing it clear Father Christmas, draw me near Big sack full of golden things Laughing while the whole room sings [Bridge] Set the candle higher Let the fiddle cry Set my heart on fire Under Sussex sky [Final Chorus] Father Christmas, come on in Father Christmas, let it spin Big sack swinging at your side Full of joy you cannot hide Father Christmas, sing it clear Father Christmas, draw me near Big sack full of golden things Laughing while the whole room sings
