Lyrics:
Got some folks in Oklahoma
Never been out there myself
But if Ruby bakes some bread at least
And sends it east
To help the celebration

Got an uncle in Los Angeles
Beverly Hills to be precise
Quite a way from Oklahoma
But then so's New York
Now ain't that nice?

chorus:
It's a big country
Merry Christmas everybody
Just a word from me
and them to say we're fine

Got some cousins up in Bozeman
Raising sheep out in the snow
Merry Christmas girls, you're crazy
But I guess you know

Got a niece down in Virginia
It's hard to picture, how she's grown
It's your uncle calling, angel
Can you put your mama on the phone?

It's A Big Country (Merry Christmas Everybody)
