美國鄉村樂天王［肯尼羅傑斯］──鄉村流行曲──［Kentucky Homemade Christmas／肯塔基自製聖誕］

They shut down the mine last summer, were gettin by on welfare

Its Christmas Eve, Im walkin home, not a dollar to my name

Night is almost on me, a night Im almost dreading

No store bought gifts to open, but therell be Christmas just the same

Its just another ho-omemade Christmas i-in Kentucky

Just odds and ends I fashioned with my hear-eart and with my hands

Its just another ho-omemade Christmas i-in Kentucky

Our fine and fancy homemade love, Gods precious gi-ift from up above

Make up the homemade Christmas of this poor Kentucky man

Theres a brand new Barlow knife with a shiny wooden handle

Gleamin in the window down at Galen Johnsons store

My wide eyed little Billy Boy, his face pressed to the window

Too young for understandin what it means to be so poor

Its just another ho-omemade Christmas i-in Kentucky

Just odds and ends I fashioned with my heart and with my hands

Its just another ho-omemade Christmas i-in Kentucky

Our fine and fancy homemade love, Gods precious gi-ift from up above

Make up the homemade Christmas of this poor Kentucky man

Little Linda aint no baby, hell she turns thirtee-een in April

Shes been dreamin about that dolly in the window for half her life

Shes old enough to realise that it aint never comin

Id damn near rob a bank to get that doll and Billys knife

Its just another ho-omemade Christmas i-in Kentucky

Just odds and ends I fashioned with my hear-eart and with my ha-ands

Its just another ho-omemade Christmas i-in Kentucky

Our fine and fancy homemade love, Gods precious gi-ift from up above

Make up the homemade Christmas of this poor Kentucky man
