Christmas in a mining town with sleigh bells (Original)

Now there's a town where I was born in Northeastern Ontario
a place we love to celebrate little baby Jesus on his birthday

The Eastern star the Shepherds quake Angels in the snow the children make
Indian summer's over the great Pumpkin's gone it's X mas time in my home town

Friends and families congregate popcorn balls and Christmas cake
the church bazzar and the food bank drive making sure no one is left behind

The shopping list at the Timmins square little Dorothy wants a cuddly teddy Bear
Santa's there to grant your wish such a special time of year this is

Toddler's write letters to Santa Claus Rudolph's nose is lighting up
for the great sleigh ride across the sky hush now baby's don't you cry
