Narration

(album: Johnny Cash Family Christmas - 1972)

You know when I was a kid at the end of that Christmas day like Carl says
We were all tired from chasing somebody else's bicycle
Or running up and down the road or something
But I remember you know one of the biggest blessings
That I can remember from Christmas time was a radio
Like all year you know radio back then you didn't hear Christmas carols on ev'ry
There wadn't ev'ry street corners there wadn't street corners
And there weren't chorial groups running up and down the road
In front of your house singing Christmas carols
And it's something that we take for granted now, but when I was a kid
It was a real privilege and a treat to hear Christmas carol
And about the end of Christmas day when we were all tired
And we'd had all we could eat
I remember sitting down and turning on the radio
And hearing the Christmas carols played on the radio stations all around
That we picked up in Northeast Arkansas
And it was a real thrill if we could hear a song like this
