paroles de chanson Christmas as I Knew It - The Johnny Cash Family
One
day
near
Christmas
when
I
was
just
a
child
Mama
called
us
together
and
mama
tried
to
smile
She
said
you
know
the
cotton
crop
hadn't
been
too
good
this
year
There's
not
a
lot
of
spending
money
and
well
at
least
we're
all
here
I
hope
you
won't
expect
a
lot
of
Christmas
presents
Just
be
thankful
that
there
is
plenty
to
eat
That'll
make
things
a
little
more
pleasant
And
us
kids
got
to
thinking
how
really
blessed
we
were
At
least
we
were
all
healthy
and
most
of
all
we
had
her
Roy
cut
down
a
pine
oak
tree
and
we
drug
it
home
Jack
and
me
Daddy
killed
a
squirrel
and
Louise
made
the
bread
Reba
decorated
the
tree
with
popcorn
strings
before
we
went
to
bed
Mama
and
daddy
sacrificed
because
this
Christmas
was
kind
of
lean
After
all
there
was
the
babies
Tom
and
Joanne
And
babies
need
a
few
things
I
whittled
a
whistle
for
my
brother
Jack
And
though
we
disagreed
now
and
then
When
I
gave
Jack
that
whistle
he
knew
I
thought
the
world
of
him
Mama
made
the
girl's
dresses
out
of
flower
sacks
And
when
she
ironed
them
down
You
couldn't
tell
that
they
hadn't
come
from
town
A
sharecropper
family
across
the
road
didn't
have
it
as
good
as
us
They
didn't
even
have
a
light
and
it
was
way
past
dusk
And
mama
said,
"Well
I
bet
they
don't
even
have
coal
oil
Let
alone
apples
and
oranges
and
such"
Me
and
Jack
took
a
jar
of
coal
oil
nd
some
hickernuts
we'd
found
We
walked
to
the
sharecropper's
porch
and
set
'em
down
A
poor
old
ragged
lady
eased
open
the
door
She
picked
up
the
coal
oil
and
hickernuts
and
said
"I
sure
do
thank
you"
and
quickly
closed
the
door
We
started
back
home
me
and
Jack
And
about
halfway
we
stopped
looked
back
And
in
the
sharecropper's
window
at
last
was
a
light
So
for
one
of
the
neighbors
and
for
us
it
was
a
good
Christmas
night
Christmas
came
and
Christmas
went
Christmas
that
year
was
heaven
sent
And
my
daddy
put
on
his
rubber
boots
And
paced
the
floor
waiting
for
the
thaw
Back
home
in
Dyess
Arkansas
