Lead Belly
On a Christmas Day
[Intro]
Little children all get so happy on a Christmas day
When it gets Christmas coming they have their own special way.I had a little boy that come to see me on a Christmas day
And I heard my mama say, "Son, Christmas is coming."
So I grabbed the little boy by the hand, went out in my papa's field on the highest hill he had in his field, and I said, "Listen, I don't see no Christmas. Do you?" He said, "No, I don't see no Christmas." We come back to the house and told Mama. Said "Mama, we don't see no Christmas." She said, "Well, it's coming."
