Please Daddy Don't Get Drunk

Please, Daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas
I can't stand to see my momma cry
Please, Daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas
I can't stand to see my momma cry

Just last year, when I was only 7
Now, I'm almost 8, as you can 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 can't stand to see my momma cry
Please, Daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas
I can't stand to 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 can't stand to see my momma cry
Please, Daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas
I can't stand to see my momma cry

I can't stand to see my momma cry
