Lyrics for No Christmas in Kentucky by Phil Ochs:
| | | Artist: | Phil Ochs |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | No Christmas in Kentucky | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 68 | | | | Lyrics: | G C
Christmas shoppers shopping on a neon city street
D
C G
Another Christmas dollar for another Christmas
treat
G C
There's satin on the pretty dolls that make
the children glow
D C G
While a boy walking
ragged in the cold Kentucky snow
G C G
No, they don't have
Christmas in Kentucky
C D
There's no holly on a West
Virginia door
G C G
For the trees don't twinkle when
you're hungry
C D G
And the Jingle Bells don't
jingle when you're poor
There's lots of toys for children when then Christmas time is
near
But the present for the miners is a stocking full of beer
In the dark hills of Kentucky
there's one gift that may be found
The coal dust of forgotten days that's lying on the
ground
No, they don't have Christmas in Kentucky
There's no holly on a West Virginia
door
For the trees don't twinkle when you're hungry
And the Jingle Bells don't jingle when
you're poor
Let's drink a toast to Congress and a toast to Santa Claus
and a toast to
all the speeches that bring the loud applause
There's not enough to give, no, there's not enough
to share
So let's drown the sounds of sorrow with a hearty Christmas cheer
No, they don't
have Christmas in Kentucky
There's no holly on a West Virginia door
For the trees don't
twinkle when you're hungry
And the Jingle Bells don't jingle when you're poor
Have a
merry, merry Christmas and a happy new year | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
