lyrics

It's Christmastime in Washington
(c) Rickey Pittman and Jed Marum, 2015

It's Christmastime in Washington but I don't share their cheer
They can't abide our history nor the flag that I hold dear
"Good Will to Men!" I hear them say - but there's no compromise
As long as Southern Heritage is hateful in their eyes

In the days of Reconstruction we took all that we could take
They took our rights - they took our land - with laws we didn't make
And now they think society'd be gen'rally improved
If we'd accept the history that's Fed'rally approved

CHO
Oh won't you come back General Jackson
And won't you come back General Lee
We're calling our Southrons to action
To honor and defend our history

From Hollywood to Washington the "Bright Lights of the World"
Will point their fingers at our flag and say it must be furled
They say that speech is free today, their high court has approved
It's free, of course - as long as it's been Fed'rally approved!

It's Christmastime in Washington, they decorate the town
The "Winter Solstice Holidays" are what they call them now
They've pruged the past - they've trashed the truth - but we see through their lies
As long as Southern Heritage is hateful in their eyes
