JOHN DENVER lyrics - Please, Daddy (Don't Get Drunk This Christmas)

(Danoff/Danoff)



Please daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas, I don't wanna see my mamma cry.

Please daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas, I don't wanna see my mamma 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, fell down underneath our Christmas tree.



Please daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas, I don't wanna see my mamma cry.

Please daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas, I don't wanna see my mamma cry.

Mamma smiled and looked outside the window. She told me, "Son, you better get upstairs."

Then you laughed and hollered "Merry Christmas." I turned around and saw my mamma's tears.



Please daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas, I don't wanna see my mamma cry.

Please daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas, I don't wanna see my mamma cry.

No, I don't wanna see my mamma cry.
