[Johnny Cash - Narration v7 lyrics]
You know Carl Perkins and I lived right
Across the Mississippi River from each other
I bet you could have heard
My Daddy shooting that
Dynamite on Christmas morning if
You'd been listening Carl
John I probably did cause we didn't
Have a lot of nothing
I remember we drug one ole
Firecracker around and wore
It out we were afraid to light it
Things in Lake County wasn't too bright but
Kind of like Marshall said we
Kind of filled up on love around
That time of the year
That's when the crops was all out
And eh I remember my
Folks my mom and dad kind
Of pinched the pennies
And that's when we got
Our new overall britches
I kind of strutted around pretty good
On Christmas Day with those on
But Christmas to me is a sad and
A warm time of the year
We did a lot of singing
That's about all we had
And that wasn't too good
But there's a lot of sweet memories
Over in Lake County for me
Across the Mississippi River from each other
I bet you could have heard
My Daddy shooting that
Dynamite on Christmas morning if
You'd been listening Carl
John I probably did cause we didn't
Have a lot of nothing
I remember we drug one ole
Firecracker around and wore
It out we were afraid to light it
Things in Lake County wasn't too bright but
Kind of like Marshall said we
Kind of filled up on love around
That time of the year
That's when the crops was all out
And eh I remember my
Folks my mom and dad kind
Of pinched the pennies
And that's when we got
Our new overall britches
I kind of strutted around pretty good
On Christmas Day with those on
But Christmas to me is a sad and
A warm time of the year
We did a lot of singing
That's about all we had
And that wasn't too good
But there's a lot of sweet memories
Over in Lake County for me
