It was Christmas Eve babe in the drunk tank

C G
An old man said to me, won't see another one

C F
And then he sang a song The Rare Old Mountain Dew

C G C G
I turned my face away and dreamed about you.

Got on a lucky one came in eighteen to one

I've got a feeling this year's for me and you

So happy Christmas, I love you baby

There's gonna be some goodtime when all our dreams come true

C F
They've got cars big as bars, they've got rivers of gold

C G
But the wind goes right through you; it's no place for the old

C G
When you first took my hand, on a cold Christmas Eve

C F G C
You promised me Broadway was waiting for me.

C
You were handsome you were pretty, queen of New York City
