Cherry Street Christmas

This Christmas Eve
She’ll come strolling down Cherry Street
Rosiest red cheeks from the cold frosty air
Cherriest red lips that call to you there
Meet me, yes, meet me
Beneath that holly mistletoe
For one little kiss to warm you from the cold
One Christmas wish that she always knows
Meet me, yes, meet me
Beneath that holly mistletoe
Pretty blue snowflakes
They whirl through the air
Some fall and glisten in the ribbons in her hair
And the others just seem to whistle and dance to her song
Meet me, yes, meet me
Beneath that holly mistletoe
For one little kiss to warm you from the cold
One Christmas wish that she always knows
Meet me, yes, meet me
Beneath that holly mistletoe

Oh it’s the 25th of December, you say?
Why it’s already Christmas day
Ain’t it crazy how months just roll away
When you’re bumming on an old freight train
Then the whistle blows and my mind goes
Back to a Christmas of long ago
With the winter wind and pretty snow
And my sweetheart blows a kiss to me
Beneath that silver tinsel tree
Mmmmm mmmm mmm mmmm mmm mmm
Then the whistle blows to remind me I know
That it’s already Christmas Day
And I’m riding away
On an old freight train
No pretty wrapped presents for me this year
But I have everything that I hold dear
A crumpled old letter, it brings me cheer
And those words are the sweetest gifts I could hear
Then the whistle blows and my mind goes
Back to a Christmas of long ago
With the winter wind and pretty snow
And my sweetheart blows a kiss to me
Beneath that silver tinsel tree
Mmmmm mmmm mmmm mmmm
Then the whistle blows to remind me I know
That it’s already Christmas Day
And I’m riding away

Long Time To Be Gone
by Nora Brown
supported by 4 fans who also own “Martha Spencer - Christmas 2023”
I have listened to bluegrass and old-timey style banjo music for many years. Nora Brown has the most poetic interpretation of these styles that I have heard so far. She is the John Fahey of banjo (but also with striking vocals).

I don't listen to much country music, so I don't really know where this one lands, but I find it has some pretty good tunes and definitively good musicianship. Some of the songs mights soound a bit cheesy, but I enjoy this album overall nonetheless. The tunes which are more sounding like ballads get my preference, such as Northern Babe, and North Country Blues.
