Listen all you rounder?s take a tip from me
Listen all you rounder?s take a tip from me
Don?t you ever marry if you love your liberty

Don?t do it boy

Oh-laydi-yay-oh-laydi-yay-oh-ladi-yii

A woman will tell you, you can do just as you please
A woman will tell you, you can do just as you please
But when she gets you she?ll find an ace up her sleeve

Oh-laydi-yay-oh-laydi-yay-oh-ladi-yii

Once I had lots of money and I rattled it all the time
I had lots of money and I rattled it all the time
But now all I hear rattlin? is this ball and chain of mine

Oh-laydi-yay-oh-laydi-yay-oh-ladi-yii

When I was a singer I had girls by the score
When I was a singer I had girls by the score
But now I?m married and they don?t love me no more

I'll have a blue Christmas without you I'll be so blue thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't mean a thing dear if you're not here with me
I'll have a blue Christmas that's certain
And when that blue heartache starts hurtin'
You'll be doing all right with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue blue Christmas

I'll have a blue Christmas I know dear
I hope your white Christmas brings you cheer
And when you say your prayers on this Christmas Eve
Will you feel the same dear as when you prayed with me
And when those blue snowflakes start falling
That's when those blue mem'ries start calling
You'll be doing all right with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue blue Christmas

I'll have a blue Christmas without you I'll be so blue thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't mean a thing dear if you're not here with me
I'll have a blue Christmas that's certain
And when that blue heartache starts hurtin'
You'll be doing all right with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue blue Christmas

I'll have a blue Christmas I know dear
I hope your white Christmas brings you cheer
And when you say your prayers on this Christmas Eve
Will you feel the same dear as when you prayed with me
And when those blue snowflakes start falling
That's when those blue mem'ries start calling
You'll be doing all right with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue blue Christmas

I'll have a blue Christmas without you I'll be so blue thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't mean a thing dear if you're not here with me
I'll have a blue Christmas that's certain
And when that blue heartache starts hurtin'
You'll be doing all right with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue blue Christmas

I'll have a blue Christmas I know dear
I hope your white Christmas brings you cheer
And when you say your prayers on this Christmas Eve
Will you feel the same dear as when you prayed with me
And when those blue snowflakes start falling
That's when those blue mem'ries start calling
You'll be doing all right with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue blue Christmas
