[Intro]
So many times in my life, I think back to the days of my childhood
Now they were some very special times
But none were ever as special as the memories of Christmas in the Smokey Mountains
Well I could close my eyes right now and I can still see that lil' ol' country church just full of neighbors, family and friends
I can still hear that country preacher talkin' about the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ
And I remember how I used to love all those old Christmas songs

[Verse 1]
The first Noel, the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields where they lay
In fields where lay they're keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep

[Chorus]
Noel Noel Noel Noel
Born is the King of Israel

[Verse 2]
The first Noel, the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields where they lay
In fields where lay they're keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep

[Chorus]
Noel Noel Noel Noel
Born is the King of Israel

[Verse 3]
For all to see there was a bright star
Shining in the east beyond them far
And through the Earth, it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night

[Chorus]
Noel Noel Noel Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Noel Noel Noel Noel
Born is the King of Israel

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
