Two-Step 'round the Christmas Tree Songtext
von Michael Martin Murphey

There′s a wondrous sight and a joyful sound
Every Christmas Eve in a western town
Gather up the kids
All the friends and family
'Cause the holly′s hung and the candle's bright
Their tunin' up the fiddle′s on a moonlit night
Roll back the rug so we can
Two-step ′round the Christmas tree
There's a jolly man in a bright red suit
Did you ever see a Santa in cowboy boots?
Twirlin′ 'cross the floor
Spurs a-jinglin′ merrily
When they sing those carols, soft and low
We'll all be shoutin′ out 'Cotton-eyed Joe'
Roll back the rug so we can
Two-step ′round the Christmas Tree
Waitin′ 'neath the mistletoe
You′ll never get a kiss
I never move that slow
There's to much I could miss


′Cause a western girl, can't be still
And a silent night is not for me
Roll back the rug so we can
Two-step ′round the Christmas Tree
Red bandanas, jelly green
Silver buckles on a new blue jeans
Jumpin' 'round the room
To a Yuletide melody
Well, I′m gonna be ready when Santa comes
But I′m gonna be dancin' ′til he does
Roll back the rug so we can
Two-step 'round the Christmas Tree
Waitin′ 'neath the mistletoe
You′ll never get a kiss
I never move that slow
There's to much I could miss
'Cause a western girl, can′t be still
And a silent night is not for me
Roll back the rug so we can
Two-step ′round the Christmas Tree
Roll back the rug so we can
Two-step 'round the Christmas Tree
