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

R: Please Daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas

I don't want to see my mama cry

Please Daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas

I don't want to see my mama cry.

1. Just 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 tree.

R:

...want to see my mama cry yy-yyy-yy ...

2. Mama smiled and looked outside the window

She told me "Son, you'd better go upstairs."

Then you laughed and hollered "Merry Christmas!"

I turned around and saw my mama's tears

R:

No, I don't want to see my mama cry
