Please, Daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas 
A                          E   E7 
I don't wanna see my momma cry 
A                        D         
Please, Daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas 
A             E            A 
I don't wanna see my momma cry 
 
E                              A 
Just last year when I was only seven 
E                                      A 
Now I'm almost 8 as you can as you can see 
A                             D      B7 
You came home a quarter past eleven  
    A              E                   A 
And fell down underneath our Christmas tree 
 
 
Chorus 
 
Solo 
 
 
Momma smiled and looked outside the window 
She told me, "Son you better go upstairs" 
Then you laughed and hollered Merry Christmas 
I turned around and saw my momma's tears 
 
Chorus 2 times 
 
    E                          D    A 
No, I don't wanna see my momma cry
