[Verse 1]
This is December, the last month in the year
This is December, the last month in the year
Twenty-fourth day and Christmas is almost here
[Verse 2]
Last Christmas mornin', I was standin' in the jailhouse cell
Last Christmas mornin', I was standin' in the jailhouse cell
Cnd this Christmas I'm sick and can't get well
[Verse 3]
I'm lying in my bed watching the snow-flakes fall
I'm lying in my bed watching the snow-flakes fall
Worried in mind 'cause I ain't got no baby at all
