Kentucky Homemade Christmas |
They shut down the mine last summer, we’re gettin' by on welfare |
It’s Christmas Eve, I’m walkin' home, not a dollar to my name |
Night is almost on me, a night I’m almost dreading |
No store bought gifts to open, but there’ll be Christmas just the same. |
It’s just another homemade Christmas in Kentucky |
Just odds and ends I fashioned with my heart and with my hands |
It’s just another homemade Christmas in Kentucky |
Our fine and fancy homemade love, God’s precious gift from up above |
Make up the homemade Christmas of this poor Kentucky man. |
There’s a brand new Barlow knife with a shiny wooden handle |
Gleamin' in the window down at Galen Johnson’s store |
My wide eyed little Billy Boy, his face pressed to the window |
Too young for understandin' what it means to be so poor. |
It’s just another homemade Christmas in Kentucky |
Just odds and ends I fashioned with my heart and with my hands |
It’s just another homemade Christmas in Kentucky |
Our fine and fancy homemade love, God’s precious gift from up above |
Make up the homemade Christmas of this poor Kentucky man. |
Little Linda ain’t no baby, hell she turns thirteen in April |
She’s been dreamin' about that dolly in the window for half her life |
She’s old enough to realize that it ain’t never comin' |
I’d damn near rob a bank to get that doll and Billy’s knife. |
It’s just another homemade Christmas in Kentucky |
Just odds and ends I fashioned with my heart and with my hands |
It’s just another homemade Christmas in Kentucky |
Our fine and fancy homemade love, God’s precious gift from up above |
Make up the homemade Christmas of this poor Kentucky man. |
