Christmas Blues (Alternate Take)

It's Christmastime, pretty baby
But it's rainin' in my heart
Yes, it's Christmastime, pretty baby
But it's rainin' in my heart
You know the snow is fallin' down, pretty baby
Why must we be so far apart? Ah, yeah

Well, now you told me last New Year's Eve, baby
That we'd be together Christmastime
Well, now you told me last New Year's Eve, pretty baby
That we'd be together Christmastime
Well, now it's Christmastime, little darlin'
Will you be here when the bell starts to chime?

What is a ship without a crew, pretty baby?
What is the mornin' without the dew?
What is a ship without a crew, pretty baby?
What is the mornin' without the dew?
Well, what is my life, pretty baby
With another Christmastime, ah, without you?
