[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...
