Not really much of a Christmas music fan, but while on long drive with wife over the holidays, was flipping through the dial, and came upon a folksy (guitar, tamborine, bells…) song which had a catchy low-key beat, singer with a vaguely John Prine rasp to his voice.
Can’t remmber much of the lyrics now, but they went something like:
“Jesus went to Egypt, (yeah man?)”
and the chorus always ended with something like “But that train’s already gone.”
Lots of verses with the same rhythm as above: “Blank did Blank, yeah, yeah”
Google did not respond well to my few snatches of lyrics.
Anybody?
