In a little mountain village, excitement filled the air
The children were rehearsing for the Christmas play that year
Momma's brand new bedsheet would be an angel's robe
Some bailing wire and tinsel sure made a great halo

Kentucky Christmas, those precious memories that I hold so dear
That special birthday, our families would come from far and near
For a season we would put all our troubles in the past
Kentucky Christmas, the only bluе you found there was the grass

At church on Sunday morning, wе'd reminisce again
The reason for the season, God's precious gift to men
Then dinner would be waiting, we'd gather for the feast
Then off to search the country for the perfect Christmas tree

Kentucky Christmas, those precious memories that I hold so dear
That special birthday, our families would come from far and near
For a season we would put all our troubles in the past
Kentucky Christmas, the only blue you found there was the grass
