Key: Eb Intro: Eb Cm7 F7 Bb7 Eb 'Twas the Eb Eb7 Ab Fm night before Christmas in Texas, you know, Way Eb Cm7 F7 Bb7 out on the prairie, without any snow, A- Eb Eb7 Ab Fm sleep in their cabin were Buddy and Sue, A- Eb Cm7 F7 Eb dreamin' of Christmas like me and you Not Bb Eb stockin's but boots at the foot of their bed, For C F Bb this was in Texas, what more need be said? When Eb Eb7 Ab all of a sudden, from out of the still night, there Eb Cm F Bb Eb came such a ruckus, it gave me a fright
Interlude: Eb Cm F Bb Eb And I Eb Eb7 Ab Fm saw 'cross the prairie like a shot from a gun, A Eb Cm7 F7 Bb7 loaded up buckboard, come out at a run! The Eb Eb7 Ab Fm driver was "Geein" and "Hawin" with will, The Eb Cm F Bb Eb horses, not reindeer, he drove with such skill. "Come F Bb Eb on Buck, and Poncho, and Prince to the right! There'll C F Bb be plenty travelin' for you all tonight!" The Eb Eb7 Ab Fm driver in Levis and a shirt that was red, Had a Eb Cm F Bb Eb ten-gallon Stetson on top of his head Interlude: Eb Cm F Bb Eb As he Eb Eb7 Ab Fm stepped from his buckboard, he was really a sight! A Eb Cm7 F7 Bb7 beard and a moustache, so curly and white. As he Eb Eb7 Ab Fm burst in the cabin, the children a-woke, And Eb Cm F Bb Eb were so a-stonished that neither one spoke! And he Bb Eb filled up their boots with such presents galore, That C F Bb neither could thaank of a single thing more. When Eb Eb7 Ab Fm Buddy recovered the use of his jaws, He Eb Cm F Bb Eb asked in a whisper, "Are you Santa Claus " - "Am F Bb Eb I the real Santa? Well, what do you think " And he C F Bb smiled as he gave a mys-terious wink. Then he Eb Eb7 Ab Fm leaped in the buckboard and said in his drawl: To the Eb Cm children of Texas Merry F Bb Eb Christmas you all!
