A Hillbilly Christmas

There's Dasher and Dancer

Then Prancer and *****

Comet and Cupid

Then Donner and Blitzen

 

If you think these are reindeer

Then you would be wrong

And it's not crazy words

In some Christmassy song

 

See, they are my brothers

Don't anybody laugh

For these are hillbilly names

From Polecat Path

 

It's a place in the hills

In East Tennesee

On the top of a mountain

As high as can be

 

Here, Christmas is different

There's no reindeer or sleigh

We use an old covered wagon

It works better that way

 

We make toys in the smoke house

For most of the year

While smoking our hams

'Til Christmas is near

 

Then we load up the wagon

With granny on the reins

Her wooden teeth all gummy

With rootbeer stains

 

Now the wagon is pulled

By my brothers and I

We're plumb tuckered out

'Cause people can't fly

 

Well, you get the picture

About Christmas in the hills

It's a hillbilly adventure

On wagon wheels

 

Now there's much more to tell

But it's time to run off

'Cause we're loading the wagon

Your friend, Rudolph
