This story was told to me
G
and it took place on a farm
C
outside of Hydra, Oklahoma.

and one of Papa's brothers

came from Kentucky to visit.
G
F
G
Mama said Un cle Johnny had a glass eye
C
G
C
an d she said it was a bit unusual
F
and we should be very careful
about looking at it
G
and we shouldn't stare at it
G
C
when he was in the room.
F
Uncle Johnny arrived on Christmas Eve
C
G
His eyes were funny.
Uncle Johnny slept late
G
C
But I couldn't wait to see what
Santa had brought,
F
and I wanted Un cle Johnny
G
to come downstairs with me.
C
So I went to the back room,
C
F
but he just had one eye open.
G
And he said, Is breakfast ready, Burden?
C
G
And I told him it wasn't,
C
G
but I thought he ought to come down
F
that Santa had left under the tree.
And he said,
G
I'd like to rest a little longer,
C
G
but why don't you take my eye down
F
and show the presents to it?
G
He picked up a glass that
was sitting on the table
G
C
It was half full of water,
G
It was a little scary, but I took it and walked
C
G
C
carefully down the stairs to the front room.
F
I walked around the Christmas tree,
G
D
so the eye could look at all those
F
Now us kids weren't supposed
to look in our stockings,
G
C
not until everybody got out of bed.
G
C
But I didn't see any harm
peeking inside of mine.
G
C
I slowly slid the glass down
that had verdant stitched on it,
C
F
then swiveled it all around,
C
and crept back up the stairs.
G
C
I handed the glass back
to Uncle Johnny,
C
G
and put the eye back in his head,
C
G
and he said, Well, lookie here.
C
I sure want to thank you, little nephew.
F
These packages are just great,
G
and what a lucky little man you are
C
G
to get a shiny, round orange
F
and a brand new Barlow knife.
G
Well, when all my brothers and
G
C
We went straight to our stockings
F
and sure enough Santa had brought me
a shiny round orange
G
C
F
C
and a brand new Barlow knife.
F
For many years I could not be convinced
that his eye hadn't seen
who had brought the orange
and the Barlow knife
C
F
an d many of the presents
that went into the stockings
G
that Christmas.
C
G
Now I have a family of my own
is no longer with us,
G
that will always enable us to
see the magic in Christmas.
