the carols those kids used to sing
Singer:statler brothers, the
about three nights before every christmas
we'd load mr. bradley's truck with hay
on the church parking lot
we'd pile in that old truck and ride away
just a bunch of kids singin' christmas carols
to the hospital and the old folks home
sometimes we'd go in and sing 'em all again
to a shut-in who was livin' all alone
let earth receive her king
and at christmas each year
the carols those kids used to sing
then one year all of us decided
everyone would bring some food on christmas eve
bought a turkey and some toys for some underprivileged boys
who lived with their grandmom on relief
she had told them there wouldn't be a christmas
and the look on their faces i still see
'cause we made some happy kids
dance around where there might have been a tree
let earth receive her king
and at christmas each year
the carols those kids used to sing
let earth receive her king
and at christmas each year
the carols those kids used to sing
