"Please Daddy don't get drunk this Christmas

I don't want to see my Momma cry

Please Daddy don't get drunk this Christmas

I don't want 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 want to see my Momma cry

Please Daddy don't get drunk this Christmas

"Please Daddy don't get drunk this Christmas

I don't want to see my Momma cry

Please Daddy don't get drunk this Christmas

I don't want my Momma cry

"Please Daddy don't get drunk this Christmas

I don't want to see my Momma cry

Please Daddy don't get drunk this Christmas

I don't want my Momma cry

I don't want my Momma cry

Mama 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

Chorus

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