How I Hate to See Xmas Come Around (Christmas Blues)

How I Hate to See Xmas Come Around - Jimmy Whiterspoon

Lyrics by：Patrick/White

Composed by：Patrick/White

Oh how I hate to see Christmas come around

Yes oh how I hate to see Christmas come around

Well it's really a beautiful sight

But it always brings me down

Well it's Christmas time now I'm feeling all bad

Yes it's Christmas time now I'm feeling all bad

Think about that money yes that I could have had

Well I knew I had some money

In my Christmas bank account

I went downtown to get it fifteen fifths was the amount

Yes I went down to the loan shark man

Yes to borrow a dime

He said he would but he couldn't yes

'Cause it's Christmas time

Well I went to the pawn shop yes to pawn my radio

Yes I went downtown to the pawn shop to pawn my radio

I looked him right in the eye yes

And all he could say was no

No chicken no turkey yes no cranberries for me

Yes there will be no stocking not even a Christmas tree

I hate to see Christmas come around

'Cause it always brings me down
