Christmas Blues Songtext

von Washboard Pete

Well you know Christmas is comin', I goin' have a lousy time
Christmas is comin', I goin' have a lousy time
Well ever since I had you woman, there's been hard luck all the time

Well I have no money for Christmas, ain't a whole lot can a poor boy do
Have no money for Christmas, what can a poor boy do
Well the girl I love don't work, I say girl I don't want you

Well it's Christmas, Christmas, give us lonely hearts a fill
Christmas, Christmas, give us lonely hearts a fill
Because my love won't give me no money,
All she do play 'round with those Christmas bills

You know that if I didn't know that woman, I don't have to call her name
If I didn't know that gal, I don't have to call her name
And if I decide, I ditch her out, cold in the rain

Well bye bye baby, I say you have got to go
Bye bye baby, I say you have got to go
You don't work and bring me no money, I can't use you anymore
