Please Daddy (Don't Get Drunk This Christmas) - The Decemberists

Please Daddy

Don't get drunk this Christmas

I don't want to see my Momma cry

Please Daddy

Don't get drunk this Christmas

I don't want to see my Momma cry

Just last year when I was only seven

And now I'm almost eight

As you can see

You came home at a quarter past eleven

Fell down underneath our Christmas tree

Say Please Daddy

Don't get drunk this Christmas

I don't want to see my Momma cry

Please Daddy

Don't get drunk this Christmas

I don't want to see my Momma cry

Momma smiled

Looked outside the window

She told me

"Son you better go upstairs"

Then you laughed and hollered

"Merry Christmas "

I turned around and see my Momma's tears

I said Please Daddy

Don't get drunk this Christmas

I don't want to see my Momma cry

Please Daddy

Don't get drunk this Christmas

I don't want to see my Momma cry

Said I don't want to see my Momma cry
