The Night Before Christmas

'Twas the night before Christmas

In Texas , you know,

Way out on the prairie,

Without any snow.

 

Asleep in their cabin

Were Buddy and Sue,

A'dreamin' of Christmas,

Like me and you.

 

Not stockings, but boots

At the foot of their bed,

For this was in Texas ,

What more need be said.

 

When all of a sudden

From out the still night,

There came such a ruckus

It gave me a fright.

 

And I saw 'cross the prairie

Like a shot from a gun,

A loaded up buckboard

Come out at a run.

 

The driver was geein'

And hawin' with will,

And horses, not reindeer,

He drove with such skill.

 

C'mon, Buck and Poncho,

And Prince to the right,

There'll be plenty travelin'

For y'all tonight.

 

The driver, in Wranglers

And a shirt that was red,

Had a 10-gallon Stetson

On top of his head.

 

As he stepped from his buckboard

He was really a sight,

A beard and a moustache

So curly and white.

 

As he burst in the cabin,

The children awoke,

And were both so astonished

That neither one spoke.

 

He filled up their boots

With such presents galore

That neither could think

Of a single thing more.

 

When Buddy recovered

The use of his jaws,

He asked in a whisper,

'Are you Santa Claus?'

 

'Am I the real Santa?

Well, what do you think?'

And he smiled as he gave

A mysterious wink.

 

Then he leapt in the buckboard

And said in his drawl,

'To the children of Texas ,

Merry Christmas, y'all!
