Christmas Day |
| A young gentleman came riding past |
| On a snow blue winter’s day |
| He asked to drink, by our fire, |
| And I was pleased to let him stay |
| He drank there quietly for a while, |
| Then he turned and said to me Your eyes are green, like summer grass, |
| Your lips are red like a fresh cut rose, |
| Your hair is soft like an irish stream |
| And your voice is filled with sweet beauty |
| And the last words I heard him say |
| Were «i shall return, for you, my love, on christmas day» |
| The night will come but I won’t sleep, |
| As I watch the stars that lead him, |
| I cannot place where his is, |
| But still my heart goes with him, |
| I’m savin all my sunday clothes |
| For the day the day that I’ll be leavin |
| Father knows, my sister knows, |
| And my friends, they’re happy for me And the priest he says, you should thank god, |
| For the blessing of such beauty, |
| And the last words I heard him say |
| Were «i shall return for you, my love, on christmas day» |
| I shall return for you, my love, on christmas day. |
| And the last words I heard him say |
| Were the last words I ever heard him say |
| I shall return for you, my love, on christmas day |
| I swear, I will return on christmas day, |
| And yes, I shall return on christmas day |
| I shall return, for you, on christmas day, |
| My love I will return on christmas day, |
| I shall return, my love on christmas day |
| On christmas day… |
