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
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 mama cry
Please daddy don't get drunk this Christmas
I don't want to see my mama cry
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
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
No, I don't want to see my mama cry
