歌詞
[Verse 1]
Daddy's drinking up our Christmas
Gonna be some hard times this year
No tree, no stockings or presents
Just bottles of Christmas cheer
No new Frigidaire for mama
No toy train for brother Jim
Daddy's drinking up our Christmas
Don't know what's gonna become of him
[Verse 2]
Quit his job last Friday, cashed his last paycheck
And ma ain't seen a cent
The cupboards are empty, the phone's turned off
Daddy, where we gonna come up with the rent?
[Verse 3]
We ain't seen daddy in two days or nights
Tommy's pa said he saw him at the track
Daddy, lay down that bottle if you can hear my plea
Mama and me want you back
[Verse 4]
Got a call from the sheriff, said dad wrecked the family car
They arrested him and threw him in the tank
We'll get you out Christmas morning if we can make the bail
Daddy, please don't take another drink
[Verse 5]
Daddy's drinking up our Christmas
Gonna be some hard times this year
No tree, no stockings or presents
Just bottles of Christmas cheer
No new Frigidaire for mama
No toy train for brother Jim
Daddy's drinking up our Christmas
Don't know what's gonna become of him
[Verse 6]
Daddy's drinking up our Christmas
Don't know what's gonna become of him
