John Denver — Please Daddy lyrics

Lyrics

Please Daddy, don’t get drunk this Christmas
I don’t wanna see my Mamma cry
Please Daddy, don’t get drunk this Christmas
I don’t wanna see my Mamma 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 Mamma cry
Please Daddy, don’t get drunk this Christmas
I don’t wanna see my Mamma cry
Mamma smiled, looked outside the window
She told me, «Son, you better go upstairs»
But then you laughed and hollered, «Merry Christmas»
I turned around and saw my Mamma’s tears
Please Daddy, don’t get drunk this Christmas
I don’t wanna see my Mamma cry
Please Daddy, don’t get drunk this Christmas
I don’t wanna see my Mamma cry
Please Daddy, don’t get drunk this Christmas
I don’t wanna see my Mamma cry
Please Daddy, don’t get drunk this Christmas
I don’t wanna see my Mamma cry
No, I don’t wanna see my Mamma cry
