Pre>g c

Christmas shoppers shopping on a neon city street

D c g

Another christmas dollar for another christmas treat

G c

Theres 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 dont have christmas in kentucky

C d

Theres no holly on a west virginia door

G c g

For the trees dont twinkle when youre hungry

C d g

And the jingle bells dont jingle when youre poor

Theres 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 theres one gift that may be found

The coal dust of forgotten days thats lying on the ground

No, they dont have christmas in kentucky

Theres no holly on a west virginia door

For the trees dont twinkle when youre hungry

And the jingle bells dont jingle when youre poor

Lets drink a toast to congress and a toast to santa claus

And a toast to all the speeches that bring the loud applause

Theres not enough to give, no, theres not enough to share

So lets drown the sounds of sorrow with a hearty christmas cheer

No, they dont have christmas in kentucky

Theres no holly on a west virginia door

For the trees dont twinkle when youre hungry

And the jingle bells dont jingle when youre poor

Have a merry, merry christmas and a happy new years day

For nows a time of plenty, and plentys here to stay

But if you knew what christmas was, I think that you would find

That christ is spending christmas in the cold kentucky mine

No, they dont have christmas in kentucky

Theres no holly on a west virginia door

For the trees dont twinkle when youre hungry

And the jingle bells dont jingle when youre poor
