Please Daddy, don¡¯t get drunk this Christmas

I don¡¯t wanna see my Mumma cry

Please Daddy, don¡¯t get drunk this Christmas

I don¡¯t wanna see my Mumma cry



Just last year when I was only seven

And now I¡¯m almost eight as you can see

You came home at a quarter past eleven

Fell down underneath our Christmas tree



Please Daddy, don¡¯t get drunk this Christmas

I don¡¯t wanna see my Mumma cry

Please Daddy, don¡¯t get drunk this Christmas

I don¡¯t wanna see my Mumma cry



Mumma 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 Mumma¡¯s tears



Please Daddy, don¡¯t get drunk this Christmas

I don¡¯t wanna see my Mumma cry

Please Daddy, don¡¯t get drunk this Christmas

I don¡¯t wanna see my Mumma cry

No, I don¡¯t wanna see my Mumma cry
