Please daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas,
I don't want to see my mamma cry
Please daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas,
I don't want to see my mamma cryJust last year when I was only seven,
Now I'm almost eight as you can see
You came home a quarter past eleven,
And fell down underneath our Christmas treePlease daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas,
I don't want to see my mamma cry
Please daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas,
I don't want to see my mamma cryMamma smiled and looked outside the window.
She told me, "Son, you better go upstairs"
Then you laughed and hollered "Merry Christmas."
I turned around and saw my mamma's tears
