Please, Daddy (Don't Get Drunk This Christmas)

John Denver

R: Please Daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas
   I don't want to see my mama cry
   Please Daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas
   I don't want to see my mama cry.
   
1. 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.  
   
R:
   ...want to see my mama cry yy-yyy-yy ...
   
2. Mama smiled and looked outside the window 
   She told me "Son, you'd better go upstairs."
   
   Then you laughed and hollered "Merry Christmas!"
   I turned around and saw my mama's tears  
   
R:   
   
   No, I don't want to see my mama cry
