Christmas Roses
I bought a can of plug tobacco for my uncle Jim
I bought my brother Tim a catcher’s glove
I bought a super pressure cooker for my sister Kate
But I’m sendin’ Christmas roses to my love!
Christmas roses, Christmas roses
Oh, I’m sendin’ Christmas roses to the flower of my heart
And what she knows is, that with the roses
Goes my young and eager – you’re not open!
True and faithful – until Christmas!
Ever-lovin’ heart!
I bought my brother Bob the bike that he’s been beggin’ for
Bess will get the dress she’s dreamin’ of
Cousin Lulu, who got married, got some pots and pans
But I’m sendin’ Christmas roses to my love!
Christmas roses, Christmas roses
Oh, I’m sendin’ Christmas roses to the flower of my heart
And what she knows is, that with the roses
Goes my young and eager – you’re not open!
True and faithful – until Christmas!
Ever-lovin’ heart!
I bought a rockin’ chair for ma to rock her cares away
I picked the pipe that pa was talkin’ of
Hope I’ve made him happy, hope that she’ll be happy too
When I send those Christmas roses to my love!
Christmas roses, Christmas roses
Oh, I’m sendin’ Christmas roses to the flower of my heart
And what she knows is, that with the roses
Goes my young and eager – you’re not open!
True and faithful – until Christmas!
Young and eager, true and faithful
Ever-lovin’ heart!
