Title: Gerry’s Down Home Christmas
One day near Christmas, when I was just a child
Mama called us all together, Mama tried to smile
She said, ” You know, the cotton crop hasn’t been too good this year
There’s just no spending money and well, at least we’re all here
I hope you won’t expect a lot of Christmas presents
Just be thankful that there’s plenty to eat
That’s quite a blessing, it’ll make things a little more pleasant.”
And us kids got to thinking how really blessed we were
At least we were all healthy and best of all, we had her
Roy cut down a pigapple tree and we drug it home, Jack and me
Daddy killed a squirrel and Louise made the bread
Reba decorated the tree with popcorn strings before we went to bed
Mama and Daddy sacrificed ’cause this Christmas was lean
But after all there was the babies, Tom and Joanne, babies need a few things
I whittled a whistle for my brother Jack
And though we fought now and then
When I gave Jack that whistle
He knew I thought the world of him
Mama made the girl’s dresses out of flower sacks
And when she ironed them down
You couldn’t tell that they hadn’t come from town
A sharecropper family across the road didn’t have it as good as us
They didn’t even have a light and it was way past dusk
And mama said, “Well, I bet they don’t even have coal oil
Or beans to boil
Let alone apples, and oranges and such.”
Me and Jack took a jar of coal oil and some hickory nuts we’d found
We walked to the sharecropper’s porch and set ’em down
A poor old ragged lady eased open the door
She picked up the coal oil and hickory nuts and said
“I sure do thank you.” and quickly closed the door
We started back home, me and Jack
And about halfway we stopped and looked back
In the sharecropper’s window at last was a light
So for one of the neighbors and for us it was a good Christmas night
Christmas came and Christmas went
Christmas that year was heaven sent
Then daddy put on his gumboots
And waited for the thaw back home in Dyess, Arkansas

Gerry’s Down Home Christmas – Terjemahan / Translation
Suatu hari di dekat Natal, ketika saya masih kecil
Mama memanggil kita semua bersama, Mama mencoba tersenyum
Dia berkata, “Kamu tahu, tanaman kapas tidak terlalu bagus tahun ini
Tidak ada uang belanja dan well, setidaknya kita semua di sini
Saya harap Anda tidak akan mengharapkan banyak hadiah Natal
Bersyukurlah bahwa ada banyak hal untuk dimakan
Itu cukup berkah, itu akan membuat segalanya sedikit lebih menyenangkan. ”
Dan kami anak -anak harus berpikir betapa diberkatilah kami
Setidaknya kami semua sehat dan yang terbaik, kami memilikinya
Roy menebang pohon babi dan kami membiusnya pulang, Jack dan aku
Ayah membunuh tupai dan Louise membuat roti
Reba menghiasi pohon dengan senar popcorn sebelum kami pergi tidur
Mama dan ayah dikorbankan karena Natal ini ramping
Tapi bagaimanapun ada bayi, Tom dan Joanne, bayi membutuhkan beberapa hal
Saya meraih peluit untuk saudara lelaki saya Jack
Dan meskipun kami bertengkar
Saat aku memberi Jack peluit itu
Dia tahu saya pikir dunia dia
Mama membuat gaun gadis itu dari karung bunga
Dan saat dia menyetrika mereka
Anda tidak tahu bahwa mereka tidak datang dari kota
Keluarga petugas hasil panen di seberang jalan tidak sebagus kami
Mereka bahkan tidak memiliki cahaya dan itu melewati senja
Dan Mama berkata, “Yah, saya yakin mereka bahkan tidak memiliki minyak batu bara
Atau kacang mendidih
Apalagi apel, dan jeruk dan semacamnya. ”
Saya dan Jack mengambil toples minyak batu bara dan beberapa kacang hickory yang kami temukan
Kami berjalan ke teras penggerak dan meletakkannya
Seorang wanita tua yang compang -camping mereda membuka pintu
Dia mengambil minyak batu bara dan kacang hickory dan berkata
“Aku yakin terima kasih.” dan dengan cepat menutup pintu
Kami mulai kembali ke rumah, aku dan Jack
Dan sekitar setengah jalan kami berhenti dan melihat ke belakang
Di jendela penggerak panah rajin akhirnya ada cahaya
Jadi untuk salah satu tetangga dan bagi kami itu adalah malam Natal yang baik
Natal datang dan Natal pergi
Natal tahun itu adalah surga yang dikirim
Lalu Ayah mengenakan gumboot -nya
Dan menunggu pencairan di rumah di Dyess, Arkansas
