Orville's Christmas Song

I am so glad I attended Uncle Orville's funeral and I was able to take Mom and Dad. Orville's teenage Granddaughter spoke of her Grandfather at the service. She said he had taught her how to drive a manual shift car by just listening and telling her when to shift. I also found out he was self taught by ear and could play the organ, harmonica & guitar. He lost most of his eye sight by 1950 and was completely blind by 1970.
He also wrote this song. After reading the song words it sounds after he lost his sight he only had his memories of his boyhood home to visualize in his mind.
I LOVE TO GO HOME FOR CHRISTMAS
by Orville Evans
I love to go home for Christmas
back to my old country home
there's where my friends and memories stay,
there's where I'll go Christmas Day
there's where I used to roam
I'd love to go home for Christmas
back to my old country home

I love to go home for Christmas
back to the country so fine
to hear the wind blow as it drifts up the snow
I'll sit by the stove and warm up my toes
there's where I used to play games
with those old buddies of mine

I'd love to go home for Christmas and to have a jolly good time
I'd love to go home for Christmas
back where I was born
to ride my sled, play in the snow
Build a snowman with eyes of black with coal

There's where I used to have fun
go hunt with my dog and my gun
I'd love to go home for Christmas
back home to see everyone
