GRANDMA'S HOMEMADE CHRISTMAS CARD
(Merle Haggard)

Merle Haggard - 1973




The family once received a hommemade Christmas card
And ev'ryone was thrilled to read the verse inside
'Cause ev'ry line was printed where the print should be
And Grandma's name was neatly signed with pride

It simply read 'My prayers and thoughts are with you
And all my Christmas wishes are for real
And I'm just good enough at poetry to make it rhyme
And to also let you know the way I feel

Grandma's homemade Christmas card from long ago
Hangs proudly in the treetop with the tinsel snow
It's the only Christmas card that we keep from year to year
Yeah, Grandma's homemade Christmas card is always here
