Henry Had A Merry Christmas - Walter Brennan[00:00:00]
Written by:Cliff Crofford[00:00:00]
My dad used to raise turkeys for Christmas[00:00:08]
And about a week before he'd take them into town[00:00:11]
He always kept ther biggest one 'specially for us[00:00:15]
And mom'd cook it till it was golden brown[00:00:19]
One year he brought the usual batch home[00:00:23]
Just hatched with a lot of growing to do[00:00:25]
There was one awful skinny like he put in my care[00:00:29]
He never figured he'd pull through[00:00:33]
I named him Henry and with a young boys touch[00:00:36]
I finally got him to grow[00:00:40]
Now I knowed what'd happen if he'd growed to much[00:00:44]
I remember I used to tell him so[00:00:47]
Henry you're growing a way to fast[00:00:51]
Dad's got his eye on you[00:00:54]
And Christmas Day is goin' to be you last[00:00:57]
Eating the way you do[00:01:00]
Course I never thought about the one dad sold[00:01:05]
How they'd end up in the oven too[00:01:09]
But I'd seen what happened when the ones he'd chose[00:01:12]
And what him and that axe could do[00:01:16]
Early one morning dad took 'em to town[00:01:20]
And sure enough Henry was left[00:01:23]
And by Christmas Eve the way I moped around[00:01:27]
They all knew how bad I felt[00:01:30]
After supper dad left the house[00:01:35]
And everything was quiet exceptn' the old hall clock[00:01:37]
It was a long long wait[00:01:41]
Then we jumped straight up when the axe hit that choppin' block[00:01:48]
We shot out the back door to where dad was[00:01:52]
All of us a runnin' around[00:01:54]
And dad just stood there grinnin' at us[00:01:56]
Then we heared a goblin sound[00:01:59]
No we didn't have turkey that Christmas Day[00:02:04]
But that was alright with us[00:02:06]
And there weren't a one of us[00:02:09]
Who didn't want ot that way[00:02:11]
And you know Henry had a Merry Christmas[00:02:14]
