Christmas shoppers shopping on a neon city street Another Christmas dollar for another Christmas treat Theres satin on the pretty dolls that make the children glow While a boy walking ragged in the cold Kentucky snow 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 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.
