Gift Of The Magi

"Jim:

My heart is sad, my soul is weary

Though Christmas day is fast appear'n.

I have no silver, I have no gold

To buy my wife a gift this year.

To see her sad on Christmas morning

Is a thing I cannot bear

I'll pawn the watch my father gave me

To buy a comb for her hair



Katharine:

Oh mother, mother what shall I do?

Though Christmas day is fast appear'n.

I have no silver, I have no gold

To buy my love a gift this year.

For I am poor and I'm a beggar

Not a cent have I, no dime I claim

I'll trade the golden hair that is our pleasure

'Buy for your watch a golden chain



Jim:

Darling, darling today is christmas

What has become of your golden hair?

For I've traded our only treasure

These silver combs for you to wear.



Katharine:

Darling, darling we've lost our treasure

My gift to you is a golden chain.

Though we've pawned away our only pleasures,

These gifts we give are not in vain.



All:

The wise men came on christmas morning

Their gifts of love they came to bear

From that day on always remembered

Our own true love forever share"
