Please, Daddy [Don't Get Drunk This Christmas] lyrics

Please, daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas

I don't wanna see my momma cry

Please, daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas

I don't wanna see my momma cry

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

Please, daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas

I don't wanna see my momma cry

Please, daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas

I don't wanna see my momma cry

Momma 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 momma's tears

Please, daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas

I don't wanna see my momma cry

Please, daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas

I don't wanna see my momma cry

No, I don't wanna see my momma cry
