Johnny Cash - Narration v2 lyrics

That's a night we are
Celebrating at Christmas time
And according to Marshall Grant up in Flatts
North Carolina they had their own way
Of celebrating Christmas too
Marshall what did you get for Christmas say
When you were six years old

When I was six years old or there about the
Biggest present that I could
Ever remember getting
Was something like a little hatchet
Or a french harp
I remember one year that I got a
Hatchet and Odell got a french harp
And he wanted my hatchet and I
Didn't want his french harp
But he got what he wanted and everything
But there was fourteen of us
In that little house up
In Flatts North Carolina
There was one thing that we did have and at
That time of year and that was love
All of us loved one another and it was cold
Always cold with the little fireplace but
The room felt so warm
And it was really warm even though
There was a lot of scrambling
Over the gifts that we got
Swapping backers and forth
From all the brothers and sisters
It was really warm in Flatts
North Carolina always on Christmas

I think probably a lot of people might wonder
As I did where is Flatts North Carolina

Well I tell you Flatts North Carolina
It's about eighty miles from Ashville
And you go through Cherokee and Brison City
And you get to a little place
Called Maddy Hill in North Carolina

But that isn’t it!

No

Then you go up the wind

You take a little left there at
Maddy Hill if you're going east
And you go up the winding stairs for fourteen
Miles and you round about a dozen bends
And all of a sudden, there is no sign
And if you ask anybody up there
Where Olson Grant lives that's Main Street
