Please Daddy (Don't Get Drunk This Christmas)

Please daddy don't get drunk this Christmas

I don't want to see my mama cry

Please daddy don't get drunk this Christmas

I don't want to see my mama 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

And fell down underneath our Christmas tree

Please daddy don't get drunk this Christmas

I don't want to see my mama cry

Please daddy don't get drunk this Christmas

I don't want to see my mama cry

Mama smiled and looked outside 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 this Christmas

I don't want to see my mama cry

Please daddy don't get drunk this Christmas

I don't want to see my mama cry

No, I don't want to see my mama cry
