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

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
