(Kim Williams,Zack Turner,Buddy Brock)

"Pretty Paper" is playing on the jukebox 
And mistletoe is hanging above the bar
I want to thank you for this
broken heart that I got
Merry Christmas Girl
Wherever in the world you are

It's going to be a honky tonk Christmas
For these silent nights at home are killing me
It's going to be a honky tonk Christmas
But I'll bi over you by New Year's Eve
"Blue Christmas" turn it up I wanna hear it
So I can unwrap all them Mem'ries in my mind
Hey Joe!! pour me some Christmas spirit
If I make it through December I'll be fine

Chorus
It's going to be a honky tonk Christmas
For these silent nights at home are killing me
It's going to be a honky tonk Christmas
But I'll bi over you by New Year's Eve
Yeah I'll be over you by

duet with Alison Krauss
written by Harley Allen and Deborah Nims

They came from near,they came from far 
Following a distance star to where He lay 
Not being sure of what it mean,but 
Knowing it was their way 

And the creatures gathered 'round 
And didn't make a sound 
And the angels cried 

The angels knew what was to come 
The reason God had sent His son 
From up above 
It filled their hearts with joy to see and 
Knowing of His destiny 
Came tears of love 

I've often thought about that night 
And wondered if they realized 
That star so bright 
Was sent to tell all the land 
The Son of God would soon become 
The Son of Man 

Chorus 

And the Angel Cried 

. . .


(Merle Haggard) 

If we make it through December 
Everything's gonna be all right I know 
It's the coldest time of winter 
And I shiver when I see the falling snow 
If we make it through December 
Got plans to be in a warmer town 
Come summer time 
Maybe even California 
If we make it through December 
We'll be fine 

Got laid off down at the factory 
And their timing's not the greatest 
In the world 
Heaven knows I've been working hard 
Wanted Christmas to be right 
For daddy's girl 
I don't mean to hate December 
It's meant to be the happy time of year 
And my little girl don't understand 

. . .


(Keith Stegall) 

Well I'm making out my list 
For ole St.Nick tonight 
But I'm afraid what I want this year 
Can't be had 

But Santa he's the kind 
When he makes up his mind 
Wishes can come true 
And I bet my Christmas stockin'
If my wish don't come knockin'
He's gonna be blue 

So baby come home 
If you don't wanna see Santa Claus cry 
He can't see where he's going 
When it's snowing 
If there tears in his eyes 

And don't you know his ho ho ho will be 
A sad sad sigh 
So baby come back to me 
If you don't wanna see Santa Claus cry 

And don't you know his ho ho ho will be 
A sad sad sigh 
So baby come back to me 
If you don't wanna see Santa Claus cry 

So baby come back to me 

. . .


(Zack Turner/Tim Nichols)

The snow is falling,it's Christmas Eve 
Presents are wrapped under the tree 
Is there one for me 

I only you want for Christmas baby 
I don't need nothing else 
I only you want for Christmas baby 
Tie a ribbon around yourself 
Oh, Tie a ribbon around yourself 

I ain't gonna write no letter 
To send north to the Pole 
'Cause what I'm wanting this year 
St.Nick don't need to know 

Chorus 

So put on your Christmas stockings 
I'll find that mistletoe 
Let's get into the holiday spirits 
Honey ho ho ho 
Ho ho ho 

Chorus

. . .


(Alan Jackson) 

Today I took some paper from the closet 
And wrapped the wedding ring 
You left behind 
And I addressed it to the man 
Who vowed to love you 
And on the little card 
I wrote these words inside 

Merry Christmas to me 
Just one gift beneath my tree 
For the fool who let you leave 
Merry Christmas to me 

Then I sat down in my chair 
And thought about you 
About the many reasons why you're gone 
And I opened up the present that I gave to me 
And realized how much it hurts to be alone 


. . .


(Johnny Marks) 

Have a holly jolly Christmas 
It's the best time of the year 
Well I don't know if there'll be snow 
But have a cup of cheer 

Have a holly jolly Christmas 
And when you walk down the street 
Say hello to friends you know 
And everyone you meet 

Ho ho the mistletoe 
Hung where you can see 
Somebody waits for you 
Kiss her once for me 

Have a holly jolly Christmas 
And in case you didn't hear 
Oh bygolly have a holly jolly Christmas 
This year 

Have a holly jolly Christmas 
And when you walk down the street 
Say hello to friends you know 
And everyone you meet 

Bridge 

Have a holly jolly Christmas 
And in case you didn't hear 
Oh bygolly have a holly jolly Christmas 
This year

. . .


duet with Keith Whitley
(Don Cook/Curly Putman/Keith Whitley) 

We're looking for The King
The new Messiah
We're following the star 
Shining brighter
Old man won't you help us if you can
He shook his head 
But he pointed his hand

There's a new kid in town
And he's lying in a manger down the road
There's a new kid in town
But he's just another baby I suppose
Heaven knows
There's a new kid in town
Here in Bethlehem

I see you've traveled far
Bearing treasures
You say these gifts are for 
The new Kings pleasures
Well I've heard 
That a King might come
But up 'til now there hasn't been one

There's a new kid in town
And he's lying in a manger down the road
There's a new kid in town
But he's just another baby I suppose
Heaven knows
There's a new kid in town
Here in Bethlehem

There's a new kid in town
And he's lying in a manger down the road
There's a new kid in town
But he's just another baby I suppose
Heaven knows
There's a new kid in town
Here in Bethlehem 

. . .


(Don Rich/Red Simpson)

Well I've been sorta worried
About Santa Claus this year
Cause we live way down south
and it didn't snow down here
But I'm telling you not to worry
Cause I just got the word
Everybody listen closely 
And I'll tell you what I heard

Santa's comin in a pickup
Instead of his trusty sleigh 
He'll have a truck instead of reindeer
To carry him on his way
Cause the weatherman had some problems
He couldn't get snow you see

Santa's gonna come in a pickup truck
When he visits you and me

Santa can't bring his reindeer
He'll leave them far away
But don't you worry 'bout him
He's gonna be here Christmas day
He's got a big red pickup
With four-wheel drive and all
And there's gonna be a Merry Christmas
A Merry Christmas for all

chorus
Santa's gonna come in a pick up truck

. . .


(Bill Danoff/Taffy Nivert) 

"Please Daddy don't get drunk this Christmas
I don't want to see my Momma cry
Please Daddy don't get drunk this Christmas
I don't want my Momma cry

Just last year when I was only seven
Now I'm almost eight, as you can see
You came home a quarter past eleven
And fell down underneath
our Christmas tree

Chorus

"Please Daddy don't get drunk this Christmas
I don't want to see my Momma cry
Please Daddy don't get drunk this Christmas

"Please Daddy don't get drunk this Christmas
I don't want to see my Momma cry
Please Daddy don't get drunk this Christmas
I don't want my Momma cry

"Please Daddy don't get drunk this Christmas
I don't want to see my Momma cry
Please Daddy don't get drunk this Christmas
I don't want my Momma cry

I don't want my Momma cry

Mama smiled and looked
Outside the window
She told me son
You better go upstairs Then you laughed and hollered
"Merry Christmas"
I turned around and saw
My Momma's tears
Chorus
