\x27Po Folks Christmas

'Po Folks Christmas - Bill Anderson

There's a whole lotta people

lookin' down their noses at me

Cause I didn't come from a wealthy family

I guess I learned to take it for most of the year

But every December when Christmas drew near

And all the other families were out spreadin'

cheer we was sittin' home being po' folks

Our Christmas shopping was thumblin'

through the new catalog

Lookin' and a wishin' and a wantin' everything we saw

Little toy trains and little toy boats and sister

kept lookin' at the little girl's coats

We all sat down and wrote Santa a note

but Santa don't come to see po' folks

And we wadn't nothing but po' folks

Po' folks livin' way in the country we never

heard the jingle of the jingle bells

Ho ho ho we was po po po' and if we had

Christmas well we just made it ourselves

Daddy took a hatchet and daddy chopped a pine tree down

The only decorations were the ones we made or found

Brother saw some holly in the rich men's yard

he picked it up fast and ran home hard

And mama knew he stole it but bless

her heart Christmas ain't easy on po' folks

And it ain't no time for whipping po' folks

I remember one Christmas it was blowing
