No Christmas In Kentucky by Phil Ochs
Pre>g c
Christmas shoppers shopping on a neon city street
D c g
Another christmas dollar for another christmas treat
G c
There's satin on the pretty dolls that make the children glow
D c g
While a boy walking ragged in the cold kentucky snow
G c g
No, they don't have christmas in kentucky
C d
There's no holly on a west virginia door
G c g
For the trees don't twinkle when you're hungry
C d g
And the jingle bells don't jingle when you're poor
There's 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 there's one gift that may be found
The coal dust of forgotten days that's lying on the ground
No, they don't have christmas in kentucky
There's no holly on a west virginia door
For the trees don't twinkle when you're hungry
And the jingle bells don't jingle when you're poor
