	Story Behind the Song This song has gone through many incarnations over the years beginning back when young Clyde was in high school. He is quite pleased with the current, highly sophisticated rendition presented here. Lyrics A COUNTRY CAROL Twas the night before Christmas and all through the barn Not a creature was stirrin They just didnt give a darn So Santa was comin What the heck? Last year all I got was a raw chicken neck The dogs was a barkin The moon shone bright And me and ole Ma was a snugglin up tight The younguns was wrapped up snug in their beds While visions of possum pie danced in their heads Up on the barn there rose such a clatter I sprung from my bed to see what was the matter Away to the winder I ran in a tear And on the roof stood a dude as big as a bear He stood by the barn five-foot tall Fat as a hog and that aint all I noticed he had on a bright red suit And he near bout busted his gut when he picked up his loot I looked behind him and guess what I saw Eight funny critters, come quick Ma! Ma come a runnin and tripped on her dress Fell on the floor and made quite a mess That big ole bear we saw on the barn Turned out to be Santa Claus The one thats supposed to be a yarn Well he gave us some presents and new Mason jars Toys for the younguns and me a new guitar We said thank ya Bud and come back agin Offered him some moonshine and he gave us a grin As he got back in his wagon and whizzed outa sight He stopped by my still for it was a mighty cold night As he staggered away that cold Christmas night He hollered Merry Christmas to all and to yall a good night! © 2001 Brian Hobbs
