Christmas Day

On Christmas day

A young gentleman came riding past

On a snow blue winter's day

He asked to drink by our fire

And I was pleased to let him stayHe drank there quietly for a while

Then he turned and said to me

"Your eyes are green like summer grass

Your lips are red like a fresh cut rose

Your hair is soft like an Irish stream

And your voice is filled with sweet beauty"And the last words I heard him say

Were, "I shall return for you my love

On Christmas Day"The night will come, but I won't sleep

As I watch the stars that lead him

I cannot place where his is

But still my heart goes with himI'm savin' all my Sunday clothes

For the day that I'll be leavin'

Father knows, my sister knows

And my friends, they're happy for me

And the priest he says, "You should thank, God

For the blessing of such beauty"And the last words I heard him say

Were, "I shall return, for you, my love

On Christmas day""I shall return for you, my love

On Christmas day"And the last words I heard him say

Were the last words I ever heard him say

"I shall return for you, my love

On Christmas day""I swear, I will return

On Christmas day

And yes, I shall return

On Christmas day""I shall return for you

On Christmas day

My love I will return

On Christmas day""I shall return, my love

On Christmas day

On Christmas day"
