The Carols Those Kids Used To Sing - The Statler Brothers

About three nights before every Christmas

We’d load Mr. Bradley’s truck with hay

7:30 on the dot, on the church parking lot

We’d pile in that old truck and ride away

Just a bunch of kids singin' Christmas carols

To the hospital and the old folks home

Sometimes we’d go in and sing 'em all again

To a shut-in who was livin' all alone

Singin' Joy to the world, the Lord is come

Let Earth receive her King

And at Christmas each year, I still love to hear

The carols those kids used to sing

Then one year all of us decided

Everyone would bring some food on Christmas Eve

Bought a turkey and some toys for some underprivileged boys

Who lived with their Grandmom on relief

She had told them there wouldn’t be a Christmas

And the look on their faces I still see

I’m glad for what we did, cause we made some happy kids

Dance around where there might have been a tree

Singin' Joy to the world, the Lord is come

Let Earth receive her King

And at Christmas each year, I still love to hear

The carols those kids used to sing

Singin' Joy to the world, the Lord is come

Let Earth receive her King

And at Christmas each year, I still love to hear

The carols those kids used to sing
