As recorded by Old Crow Medicine Show (2025 release) [Intro]
 A
Oh, that's that Christmas corn

A
Don't mind if I do
[Verse 1]
A
Snowflakes are falling on a copper still

A
It's holiday time in the Georgia hills

D
Soon as the sour mash's boiling down

A
My grandpappy's going cruising to town

           E
He got the trunk of that Chevrolet packed with presents

N.C.                               A
Ho-ho-ho, it's corn whiskey Christmas
[Chorus]
     D
Grandpappy's been a-brewing since before the war

        A
And the things he can do with a barrel of corn

         E
He got a beard so long it makes Santa Claus jealous

B7                             E
Bringing good cheer to all the gals and the fellas

D
Dashing through the snow with a jolly smile

               A
There goes the best bootlegger for a Georgia mile

     E
He's coming to town, he's got your name on his list

A N.C.                             A
Ho-ho-ho, it's corn whiskey Christmas
[Verse 2]
A
On Christmas Eve, that's when he comes a-knocking

A
Even the revenuers hang up their stockings

D
Grandpappy's wrapping them jars with ribbon

A
Working overtime ever since Thanksgiving

       E
Making hillbillies happy is our family business

A N.C.                             A
Ho-ho-ho, it's corn whiskey Christmas
[Chorus]
     D

[Instrumental Break] D A E B7 E D A E7 A N.C. [Verse 3]
A
They busted Pappy once on Christmas Eve

A
Locked in the Georgia pen, threw away the key

D
 Prison guard was a customer of mine

       A
And we busted him out in the nick of time

E7
I hope the warden won't get too suspicious

A N.C.                             A
Ho-ho-ho, it's corn whiskey Christmas
