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 sending Christmas roses to my love!
[Chorus:]Christmas roses,Christmas roses,Oh, I'm sending 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 loving heart!
I bought my brother Bob the bike that he's been begging for,Bess'll get the dress she's dreaming of.Cousin Lulu who got married got some pots and pans,But I'm sending Christmas roses to my love!
[Chorus]
I bought a rocking chair for ma to rock her cares away,I picked the pipe that pa was talking of.Hope that I've made him happy, hope that she'll be happy tooWhen I send those Christmas roses to my love!
[Chorus:]Christmas roses,Christmas roses,Oh, I'm sending 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 loving heart!
