Shimmy Down The Chimney (Fill Up My Stocking)

Alison Krauss (And Union Station) · Other Songs - Alison Krauss (And Union Station)

Tonight, I waited but my heart is so cold

'Cause you never stay more than a minute, so I'm told

I know you're just doing your job

But what am I supposed to do?

When all I want for Christmas, darling, is to be with you



I watch you shimmy down the chimney, baby

I watch you fill up my stocking

But when I offer you some Christmas greetings

You just keep on walking, yeah



I'm not asking for a miracle, just a night

And if you just look in my eyes, you just might

There'll be no other woman who'll treat you like I can

(Come on over here)

I'll be your loving, darling, you'll be my loving man



Oh, I watch you shimmy down the chimney, baby

I watch you fill up my stocking

But when I offer you some Christmas greetings

You just keep on walking



I watch you shimmy down the chimney, baby

I watch you fill up my stocking

But when I offer you some Christmas greetings

You just keep on walking

(Keep on walking)



I watch you shimmy down the chimney, baby

I watch you shimmy down the chimney, baby



You just keep on walking

I watch you shimmy down the chimney, baby

I watch you fill up my stocking

I watch you shimmy down the chimney, baby
