Blues Lyrics: Charles Brown



This page contains lyrics to the following song(s):


Merry Christmas Baby

Christmas songs are rather scarce in the blues. On "Merry Christmas Baby" Brown sings and plays the celesta, a rare instrument in the blues. Johnny Moore accompanies on guitar. I don't know in what year this was recorded.

Merry Christmas baby, you sure did treat me nice
Merry Christmas baby, you sure did treat me nice
Gave me a diamond ring for Christmas
        Now I'm living in paradise

Well I'm feelin' mighty fine, got good music on my radio
Well I'm feelin' mighty fine, got good music on my radio
Well I wanna kiss you baby,
        While you're standing 'neath the mistletoe

Saintee came down the chimney
'Bout half past three
Left all these pretty presents
That you see before me
Merry Christmas pretty baby, you sure been good to me
I haven't had a drink this morning
        But I'm all lit up like a Christmas tree
