Kentucky Homemade Christmas Lyrics

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

It's just another ho-omemade Christmas i-in Kentucky

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

It's just another ho-omemade Christmas i-in Kentucky

Our fine and fancy homemade love, God's precious gi-ift from up above

Make up the homemade Christmas of this poor Kentucky man
