He told me ‘bout his girl back home

Waiting patient, all alone

While we danced I shed a little tear.

He closed his eyes, all out at sea

I think he danced with her, not me

I’ll just have to wait another year.

He said, “Borrow or steal, I’ll find a way

To be with my lover upon Christmas Day

And I’ll run, and I’ll roam, I’ll cover the ground

Next Christmas I’ll see you, I’ll be around.
