"Christmas Carol"
Like a fixture down on Main Street She stood there all year long With a tin cup and a tamborine Singing Christmas songs Folks thought she was crazy But they loved to hear her sing They'd drop some money in her can She'd shake that tamborine
[And they called her Christmas Carol There's not a Christmas song she couldn't sing I remember Christmas Carol With her snow white hair and her beat up tamborine]
She wore that same old ragged coat all the year around Lived all alone in a little shack just outside of town She'd stand there singing "Jingle Bells" in the heat of the summer time Yes, every day was Christmas in Carol Johnson's mind
[And they called her Christmas Carol There's not a Christmas song she couldn't sing I remember Christmas Carol With her snow white hair and her beat up tamborine]
But I can still remember that twinkle in her eye 'Cause Carol kept a secret from the people passing by That secret was a mystery they talked about so long How each Christmas eve those gifts showed up outside the children's home
That was forty years ago, or fifty I believe But still the toys keep showing up each year on Christmas eve I wonder if we'll ever know just who took up the cause Is it still Christmas Carol Or is it Santa Claus?
[And they called her Christmas Carol There's not a Christmas song she couldn't sing I remember Christmas Carol With her snow white hair and her beat up tamborine]
