BLUES4XMAS

Words and Music By Sam Creigh

Sam Says: This song allowed me to write both a blues and a Christmas tune simultaneously.  It's always a lot of fun to perform and jam  on this number--a slow, jazzy progression in G.

Verse 1
Colored lights--hangin' on a decorated tree
Mistletoe in the doorway--a glass full of cheer
Stocking stuffed with presents, Baby
But you're not here--
And without you--I ain't got nuttin' but the blues--
For Christmas

Verse 2
Wrote a letter to Santa, now--mailed it just yesterday
I said, "Dear Santa, you got to help me--you got to find my baby
Wrap her up in a big red bow
And put her under my tree--
'Cause without her--I ain't got nuttin' but the blues--
For Christmas"

Verse 3
Colored lights--hangin' on a decorated tree--oh, you know I got 'em, darlin'
Got some mistletoe hangin' in the doorway
Got a big old glass full of cheer
My stockin's stuffed with presents, Sweetheart
But you're not here--
And without you this Christmas, Baby
I ain't got nuttin' but the blues
Yeah, I ain't got nuttin' but them please come home for Christmas blues
