"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 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      "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 my Momma cry      "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 my Momma cry      I don't want my Momma cry      Mama 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   Chorus   No,I don't want to see my Momma cry
