Lyrics:

Please daddy don't get drunk this Christmas I don't wanna see my mama cry Please daddy don't get drunk this Christmas I don't wanna see my mama cry Just last year when I was only seven now I'm almost eight as you can see You came home at quarter past eleven and fell down underneath our Christmas tree Please daddy don't get drunk... [ steel - fiddle ] Mama smiled and looked otside 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... Everybody sing now Please daddy don't get drunk... No I don't wanna see my mama cry
