Verse 1:

The cattle’s all tended
The fences’ been mended
I’ve saddled Old Paint for the ride
It’s now Christmas season
And the thought’s very pleasin’
That soon I’ll be there by your side

Pre-chorus:

My holiday yearnings
Filled cold, lonely nights
I’ve dreamed of each loving detail

Refrain:

Christmas at the end of the trail
Christmas at the end of the trail

Verse 2:

I see tree in window
Our porch decked with pine boughs
A festive wreath fixed to the door
Stockings hung with care
Sweet treats we’ll both share
And presents strewn ‘round on the floor

Pre-chorus:

I’ve viewed these things clearly
In my mind’s eye
No distance could cause them to pale

Refrain:

Christmas at the end of the trail
Christmas at the end of the trail

Bridge:

You’ll kiss me hello
Set my heart aglow
Surrounded by Christmastime’s charms
We’ll sit by the fire
And I’ll never tire
Of holding you close in my arms

Verse 3:

My relief’s arrived
It’s my time to ride
My stint on the range is now through
I set my hat’s brim
And start headin’ in
Soon I’ll be home there with you

Pre-chorus:

The skies have stopped snowing
And the stars are all showing
They guide me to you without fail

Refrain:

Christmas at the end of the trail
Christmas at the end of the trail
Christmas at the end of the trail
Christmas at the end of the trail
