Christmas Eve Blues (1928) Songtext
von Blind Lemon Jefferson

Oh mama, this is goin′ to be a hard winter.
Look how it's snowin′
Baby won't you hear me moan?

Ah, just the day before Christmas, mama won't you hear me moan?
I say it was the day before Christmas, mama won′t you hear you moan?
If you take me back baby, I′ll get you anything you need

I had a good chance, baby give me just one more
I had a good chance, baby give me just one more
I'm gonna show you some lovin′, like you have never seen before


I know I did you wrong, I'm just as sorry as I can be
Mmmm, sorry as I can be
Just the day before Christmas, mama please come back to me

Mama, don′t turn me down on this Christmas Eve
Mama, don't turn me down on this Christmas Eve
I cried about you so hard, done wet up my whole coat sleeve

It′s the day before Christmas, let me bring your present tonight
I said, it's the day before Christmas, let me bring me your present tonight
I'm gonna be your Santy Claus, even if my whiskers ain′t white

Christmas Eve Blues, folks
