christmas 1974 - mccarthy trenching lyrics

Loading...

two days before christmas, 1974:
you’ve got all your pretty christmas cards spread out on the floor
from your sisters-in-law and your mother’s friends who’d come to the wedding back in june

it was no surprise to any of them that you’d be expecting so soon
using your sewing scissors, even though you know it’ll make them dull
cutting out snowflakes and reindeer, tie a ribbon through a little hole
you’ve got a joni mitch-ll record playing on the stereo
and a second pan of popcorn popping on the stove

with your little homemade dress
and your little homemade ornaments
you were making it up as you went along
maybe it was common sense
to make your own cheerfulness
in that little rented house on a corn and soybean farm

take your garden shovel and a fivegallon bucket down the lane
there’s been plenty of snow this winter, and then yesterday it rained
half a bucket of gravel oughta be enough to hold the tree up straight
then you’ll string the popcorn and cut an angel from a paper plate
