Blind Lemon Jefferson — Christmas Eve Blues lyrics

Lyrics

Now it’s the day before Christmas: mama won’t you hear
me moan
If you take me back baby: I’ll give you anything you
need
I had a good chance: baby give me just one more
I will change the way I’m loving: like you never have
been before
I know I did do wrong: I’m just as sorry as I can be It’s the day before Christmas: mama come back to me Mama don’t turn me down: on this Christmas Eve
I cried about you so hard: done wetted my whole coat
sleeve
It’s the day before Christmas: let me bring your
present tonight
I’m going to be your Santa Claus: even if my whiskers
ain’t white
