Christmas Morning Blues Lyrics
Christmas Morning Blues - Victoria Spivey
Written by：L. Johnson
I woke up Christmas morning
Went out to get my morning's mail
I woke up Christmas morning
Went out to get my morning's mail
A letter sent from Georgia
The postmark said Atlanta jail
In a mean old jailhouse
'Cause he broke them Georgia laws
In a mean old jailhouse
'Cause he broke them Georgia laws
New year he won't be here
'Cause death will be his santa claus
My man's so deep in trouble
The white folks couldn't get him free
My man's so deep in trouble
The white folks couldn't get him free
He stole a hog horse
The charge was murder in the first degree
Ain't never had a Christmas
With trouble like this before
Ain't never had a Christmas
With trouble like this before
Sleigh bells are my death bells
Hard luck's knocking at my door
Next Christmas I won't be
Here to hear this bad find a news
I won't be here to get this bunch
Of bad news
Just mark on my tombstone died
With the Christmas morning blues
