Po' Folks Christmas Lyrics - Bill Anderson

(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 thumbin' 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 man'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 

And a snowing mean 

Wadn't nothing in the kitchen 

But a few of mama's homecanned beans 

Some ladies from the church brought a basket of food 

Mama kinda smiled and she said that's good 

But why don't you all just take it to the folks 

That live down the road 

They ain't got as much as we do, huh 

Why they're just po' folks.

She only kept a chicken and enough 

To make some homemade bread 

But you'd've thought we was feastin' 

From the blessings that my daddy said 

And later when kids was tucked in tight 

And the fire wadn't nothin' but a flickering light 

You oughta heard my mama sing Silent Night 

Cause that's what you do when you're po' folks 

And we wadn't nothin' but po' folks. 

Christmas time when you're po' folks 

The Lord sure must've loved us po' folks ha, ha 

He made a passel of us 

Everybody at my house was po' folks 

Why most of the time we was po' 

We couldn't even pay attention, mercy 

Christmas time when you're po' folks...
