More Dickens!!

Chris Jones at Bluegrass Today already has some chatbot written Christmas songs -- here is one more...(I'm not sure I've ever heard the word "dross" in a bluegrass song but, then again, I've never met anyone named Sophronie either)... 

Could you re-write Charles Dickens "A Christmas Carol" as a bluegrass song?

Sure! Here's a rough draft of "A Bluegrass Christmas Carol":

Verse 1: Well, it was Christmas Eve in old London town Bob Cratchit was shivering, his shoes worn down He trudged through the snow to his miserly boss Who sat by the fire, counting his dross

Chorus: Oh, Scrooge was his name, a coldhearted man He cared not for love or for fellow man But on this fateful night, he'd be visited three By ghosts from the past, present, and future, you see

Verse 2: First came the Ghost of Christmas Past In a shimmering robe, so bright and fast He showed Scrooge his childhood, full of love and cheer But Scrooge turned his back and shed not a tear

Verse 3: Next came the Ghost of Christmas Present With a laugh and a jolly, joyful insistence He showed Scrooge the joys of the season's delight But Scrooge turned away, seeing only fright

Verse 4: Finally, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come In a cloak of shadows, his face all undone He showed Scrooge a future bleak and grim But Scrooge saw the error of his sin

Verse 5: So Scrooge had a change of heart, that fateful night He vowed to be kind and to do what is right He spread joy and love, throughout the land And Christmas was merry, all across the land

Outro: So if you're feeling down, on this Christmas Eve Just remember the lesson that Scrooge did receive Spread joy and love, to all those you see Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
