Lonesome Christmas Blues
This is December, the last month in the year This is December, the last month in the year Twenty-fourth day and Christmas is almost here
Last Christmas mornin' I was down in the jailhouse cell Last Christmas mornin' I was down' in the jailhouse cell And this Christmas I'm sick and can't get well
I'm lying in my bed watching the snow-flakes fall I'm lying in my bed watching the snow-flakes fall Worried in mind 'cause I ain't got no baby at all
She went away bed watching’ the snowflakes fall. She went away bed watching’ the snowflakes fall. And I ain’t seen her since the day she left my door.
The World is like a ball and goes round and round. The World is like a ball and goes round and round. You are up today, tomorrow you are down.
I’ve nothin’ to gain and not a thing to lose. Nothin’ to gain, not a thing to lose. But I’ve still got the lonesome Christmas blues.
