Hillbilly Holidays

For all who have been wondering Let me set the story straight About the hillbilly holidays Before it gets too late We don't have an Easter possum This tale is just a myth It's a cute little bunny with a basket To collect our Easter eggs with And Cupid don't wear overalls And fly around with a gun He shoots them tiny little arrows But we know it's all in fun And Santa still has his reindeer Not a horse tied to his sleigh We leave him milk and cookies Not moonshine like they say The Tooth Fairy is not toothless This simply isn't true She always leaves us money Just like the rest of you And of course that leaves Thanksgiving So what else could I say We eat turkey like everyone else On this Hillbilly Holiday So now that everyone understands That hillbilly is just a name It don't matter where you live Our holidays are all the same Hillbillies are like everyone else And there's nothing for you to fear If you ever have anymore questions Well, Ya'll come back now, hear?
