As I lie here in this dream, with time on my hands,
The snow outside fallin', so softly and slow,
Now I'm thinking of you, and I'm livin' the price,
Year now together of high times and low.
Mary, Merry Christmas, and a happy new year,
Your young enough to start in new,
Well I hope the best, will come for you,
Mary, Merry Christmas, and a happy new year.
Music (fiddle and mandoline)
As Death creeps so near me, I know its' all gold,
Regrets for the night, when you had to go,
For I wasn't home, always up for a show,
You've done such a good job, never thought of yourself.
Mary, Merry Christmas, and a happy new year,
Your young enough to start in new,
Well I hope the best, will come for you,
Mary, Merry Christmas, and a happy new year.
Music (fiddle and steel guitar(dolbro))
It's now late November, soon Santa will come,
But I wont be here, to see the tree,
Well I know you've been good to me, you always have,
I leave you forever, noone will see the tears.
Mary, Merry Christmas, and a happy new year,
Your young enough to start in new,
Well I hope the best, will come for you,
Mary, Merry Christmas, and a happy new year.
Mary, Merry Christmas, and a happy new love.
