IT AINT THE GIFT
// am'f the gift a feller gits
It ain’t the shape ner size
That sets the heart to heatin’
An puts sunshine in yer eyes.
It ain’t the value of the thing
Ner how its’ wrapped or tied
It’s something else aside from this
That makes you glad inside.
It’s knowin’ that it represents
A love both deep and true,
That someone carried in his heart
An’ wants to slip to you.
So ’taint the gift the feller gets
Ner how it’s wrapped ner tied;
It’s knowin’ folks like you
That makes you glad inside.
