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!
