Oh mama, this is goin' to be a hard winter. Look how it's snowin'. Baby won't you hear me moan?

Ah, just the day before Christmas, mama won't you hear me moan,

I say that's the day before Christmas, mama won't you hear you moan,

If you take me back baby, I'll get you anything you need.

[Hans293]

I had a good time, baby give me just one more,

I had a good time, baby give me just one more,

I gon' tell you some lovin', like you have never been before.

I know I did you wrong, I'm just as sorry as I can be,

Mmmm, sorry as I can be,

Just the day before Christmas, mama please come back to me.

[Hans293]

Mama, don't turn me down, on this Christmas Eve,

Mama, don't turn me down, on this Christmas Eve,

I cried about you so hard, done wet up my whole coat sleeve.

It's the day before Christmas, let me bring your presents tonight,

I say it's the day before Christmas, let me bring me your presents tonight,

I'm gon' to be your Santy Claus, even if my whiskers ain't white.

Christmas Eve Blues, folks.
