Please Daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas
I don't want to see my Momma cry
Please Daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas

Please Daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas
I don't want to see my Momma cry
Please Daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas

Then you laughed and hollered, "Merry Christmas!"
I turned around and saw my Momma's tears
Please Daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas
I don't want to see my Momma cry
Please Daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas
I don't want to see my Momma cry
No, I don't want to see my Momma cry
