Please, Daddy (Don't Get Drunk This Christmas)

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
