Old Christmas Day

In the middle of the night on old Christmas Eve
The elder bushes bloom while the people are asleep
The animals start talking and they have a lot to say
In the middle of the winter night on old Christmas day
Christmas Day, Christmas day
In the middle of the winter night on old Christmas day

The bears all take a break from their long winter nap
The birds talk to each other and the dog talks to the cat
If you couldn’t say a word all year, I wonder what you’d say
In the middle of the winter night on old Christmas day
Christmas Day, Christmas day
In the middle of the winter night on old Christmas day

The buzzards all are gathered out behind the barn
Telling buzzard stories, spinning buzzard yarn
They talk about the feast that they had yesterday
Roadkill for dinner on old Christmas day
Christmas Day, Christmas day
In the middle of the winter night on old Christmas day

The sheep and all the chickens, the cattle and the pigs
The rooster’s on the fence, the crickets play a jig
They’re airing every grievance, get their woes out of the way
Wrapping up another year on Old Christmas day
Christmas Day, Christmas day
In the middle of the winter night on old Christmas day
