[Verse 1]
It's Christmas Eve, baby
I’ve got those empty stocking blues
It's Christmas Eve, baby
I've got those empty stocking blues
I’m all alone this Christmas Eve
And I don't know what to do
[Verse 2]
Why did my baby go away?
I didn't think she would ever leave
Why did my baby go away?
I didn't think she would ever leave
Nothing seems to matter now
On such a lonesome Christmas Eve
[Verse 3]
We trimmed the tree together
We planned so many things
Now I'm counting every minute
Praying for the phone to ring
Oh, it's Christmas Eve, baby
I'm all alone, the house is still
Lookin' at my empty stockings
That only your love can fill
Floyd Dixon released Empty Stocking Blues on Tue Mar 19 1996.
