Lyrics

[00:25.345] There ain't no Santa Claus on the evenin' stage
[00:37.873] There ain't no way to pull the curtain
[00:40.963] And hide from hunger's rage
[00:50.652] There ain't no town to stop in
[00:53.935] There ain't no time to stop in
[00:57.332] There ain't no straw for my horse
[01:00.230] There ain't no straw for my bed
[01:06.646] There ain't no comfort in cold boards
[01:09.921] There ain't no rumor or food for my stomach
[01:16.329] And someday I'm gonna be saved
[01:22.702] 'Cause I gotta eat 'n drink 'n breathe 'n sleep
[01:26.656] And I'm a slave
[01:42.591] Down in hominy's grotto
[01:45.499] There's a soul dying 'n leavin'
[01:48.443] Every second on the evenin' stage
[01:56.200] There's a soul dying 'n rottin'
[01:58.542] And pickin' some new kinda cotton
[02:01.833] With his fingers broken
[02:04.588] And his heart, back and forgotten
[02:08.005] And there ain't no Santa Claus on the evenin' stage
[02:19.245] Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho
[02:22.412] Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho...
