Key: G Verse: 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 Chorus: 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
Verse: G C There's lots of toys for children when then Christmas time is near D C G But the present for the miners is a stocking full of beer G C In the dark hills of Kentucky there's one gift that may be found D C G The coal dust of forgotten days that's lying on the ground Chorus: 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 Verse: G C Let's drink a toast to Congress and a toast to Santa Claus D C G and a toast to all the speeches that bring the loud applause G C There's not enough to give, no, there's not enough to share D C G So let's drown the sounds of sorrow with a hearty Christmas cheer Chorus: 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 Verse: G C Have a merry, merry Christmas and a happy new year's day D C G For now's a time of plenty, and plenty's here to stay G C But if you knew what Christmas was, I think that you would find D C G That Christ is spending Christmas in the cold Kentucky mine Chorus: 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
