Please daddy don't get drunk this Christmas
I don't want to see my momma cry
Please daddy don't get drunk this Christmas
I don't want to 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 want to see my momma cry
Please daddy don't get drunk this Christmas
I don't want to see my momma cry
My 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 want to see my momma cry
Please daddy don't get drunk this Christmas
I don't want to see my momma cry
Everybody sing now
Please daddy don't get drunk this Christmas
I don't want to see my momma cry
Please daddy don't get drunk this Christmas
I don't want to see my momma cry
No, I don't want to see my momma cry
