Xmas In September

about

A sort of Christmas song. But then again, maybe not.

lyrics

Well, it's Christmas in September
Down In Baton Rouge
Uncle Dall just strung up the lights
And it's far from the 25th
How he used to shoot them out
How he used to shoot them out
What he's thinking now's anyone's guess
They say he's doing better these days

So uncle Rand didn't go into work today
Just knocked back a few frosty Colts
Watching the yultide display
How them horses used to run him wild
How they used to run him wild
Says so long and thanks for the call
And will I pass through anytime soon

Well, I know it ain't Christmas
But Kath, I just got word
That you finally left your old man
After all the things he did
Well, I wish you all the luck I have inside
All the luck I have inside
And ain't it funny how the leaves don't fall
And it strange how the leaves don't fall
So much as they wave goodbye
