The Kingston Trio — Around About Christmas lyrics

Lyrics

Christmas is coming. The goose is getting fat
Please put a penny in the old man’s hat
If you haven’t got a penny, then a ha' penny will do
If you haven’t got a ha' penny, then God bless you!
'Round about the mountain. 'Round about the mountain
My God is waitin'. You can rise in His arms
My God is waitin'. You can rise in His arms
The Lord loves a sinner. The Lord loves a sinner man
The Lord loves a sinner who will rise in His arms
I would not be a sinner. I’ll tell you the reason why
If the Lord should want me, I would not be ready to die!
I tell you fellow members, things happen mighty strange
The Lord was good to Israel and His ways don’t ever change
The Lord loves a sinner. The Lord loves a sinner man
The Lord loves a sinner who will rise in His arms
Sometimes I feel discouraged and think my works in vain
But then the Holy Spirit revives my soul again
If you can’t pray like Peter, if you can’t preach like Paul
Go home and tell your neighbor that He died to save us all
The Lord loves a sinner. The Lord loves a sinner man
The Lord loves a sinner who will rise in His arms
'Round about the mountain. 'Round about the mountain
My God is waitin'. You can rise in His arms
The Lord loves a sinner. The Lord loves a sinner man
The Lord loves a sinner who will rise in His arms
