[D] That's not, we usually get to eat the [E] candy.
Daddy just likes to get it cause it's [Bm] romantic.
Well what did he [D] get you?
Twelve beautiful children, six boys and six girls.
Oh let's say thank [A] you mama.
Thank you [Em] mama, [G] thank you daddy.
[D]
That's real sweet.
Did you want to add anything to mama's [A] story about that?
I bet she just about [G] covered all of it.
Oh she usually does, she usually [D] does most of the talking.
That's real sweet.
Well I just want to take [A] the time since it is Christmas
[Bm] from all of us to thank you [A] both for all the good years that you've given us and thank you for
sharing that story and your candy.
[B] And speaking of stories we've got a story on you.
Another
story about me, did Randy help you with it?
Is this like one of Randy's songs?
Do you remember
what Dolly always wanted for Christmas?
[N] Makeup.
She'd rather have makeup than live.
Daddy wouldn't
allow it in the house.
He said it was evil.
[F] But you know how Dolly was, she used to take matches
and burn them and wet them on the ends and make mascara.
Yeah and I remember how you used to take
them old pokeberries, used to grow out in the back and put them on my lips and pinch my cheeks till
[N] they just was pink and they were beautiful till they turned blue.
But that didn't stop me either.
Then daddy would ask you if you were wearing makeup and you would just [G#] lie.
I didn't just lie.
I wasn't wearing [D] makeup, I was wearing pokeberries.
I better sing, you better help me.
And you better watch me.
Oh little town [G] of Bethlehem, how [D] still [A] we [D] see thee lie.
Above [B] thy [Em] deep and dreamy sleep,
[D] the silent [A] [D] stars go by.
Yet in [F#m] the [Bm] dark streets [F#] shine up [Bm] the
[G] everlasting [F#] light.
[D] The hopes and fears [G] of all the years [D] are met [A] in [D] thee tonight.
Oh holy child [G] of Bethlehem, [D] descend [A] to us [D] we pray.
Cast out [B] our [Em] sins and enter in.
[D] Be born [A] in us [D] today.
We hear [C#] the [B] Christmas [F#]
angels, [Bm] the great glad [F#] tidings tell.
[D] Oh come to us, [G] abide with us, [D] our Lord [A] [D] Emmanuel.
Oh little town [G] of Bethlehem, [D] how still [A] we [D] see thee lie.
