Please, daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas
I don't wanna see my momma cry
Please, daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas
I don't wanna see my momma 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 wanna see my momma cry
Please, daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas
I don't wanna see my momma cry
Momma smiled and looked outside the window
She told me, "Son, you better go upstairs"
Then you laughed and hollered "Merry Christmas"
I turned around and saw my momma's tears
Please, daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas
I don't wanna see my momma cry
Please, daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas
I don't wanna see my momma cry
No, I don't wanna see my momma cry
