Grandma's Homemade Christmas Card - Merle Haggard

The family once received a homemade Christmas card

And everyone was thrilled to read the verse inside

'Cause every line was perfect like the way it 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 tree top with the tinsel snow

It’s the only card that we keep from year to year

Yep, grandma’s homemade Christmas card is always here
