Deep Winter Blues

|

|
Verse 1:
It's been a long, cold December, worst I can remember
Everybody I know has got the flu
Well, maybe I'm getting old, but I sure hate the cold
Wintertime gives me the blues
You nearly freeze yourself to death every time you take a breath
There's nothing you can do
Outside, my lawn jockey looks like he's playing hockey
Wintertime gives me the blues.
Break
I'd like some real good loving and a fire to cuddle in front of
I'm not that picky, heaven knows
I know beggers can't be choosers - how can you tell winners from losers
When all the chicks are bundled up like eskimos
Verse 2
So please, Santa Claus, when at my house you pause,
Leave me something I can use
Don't want to sound like I'm a taker... How 'bout Christmas in Jamaica?
'Cause wintertime gives me the blues
- Maybe the Bahamas?
Wintertime gives me - well, all those bikini mamas -
Wintertime gives me the blues.

Verse 1:
Well, lately Baby's acting cold as ice
I went to see old Santa for advice
I said, My darlin's acting like we're through
And he told me exactly what to do
Chorus
I'm gonna catch my baby under the mistletoe
I'll tell her that I love her, 'cause I think she oughtta know
I'll trap her in the corner, she's got no place to go
I'm gonna catch my baby under the mistletoe.
Verse 2
I can't give that woman a chance to get away
I'm gonna hold her close and make her want to stay
I've got to let her know my love is true
'Cause Santa says that's what I've gotta do.
Chorus
I'm gonna catch my baby under the mistletoe
I'll tell her that I love her, 'cause I think she oughtta know
I'll trap her in the corner, so she's got no place to go
Gonna catch my baby under the mistletoe.
Verse 3
Can't give that woman a chance to get away
I'm gonna hold her close and make her want to stay
Well I've got to let her know my love is true
You know Santa says that's what I've gotta do
Chorus
I'm gonna catch my baby under the mistletoe
I'll tell her that I love her, 'cause I think she oughtta know
I'll trap her in the corner, so she's got no place to go
Gonna catch my baby under the mistletoe.
I'm gonna catch my baby under the mistletoe
I'll tell her that I love her, 'cause I think she oughtta know
I'll trap her in the corner, she's got no place to go
Gonna catch my baby under the mistletoe.

Chorus
Jingle bells, well jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh

Dashing through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go, well, laughing all the way
The bells on bobtail ring, Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing a sleighing song tonight.

J-J-Jingle bells, j-j-jingle bells, jingle all the way

Yeah, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.

Well late last Friday night thought I'd take a ride
Soon Miss Fanny Bright, well she was seated by my side
That horse he was lean and lank, and misfortune seemed his lot
We got into a drifted bank and you know we got upsot...
Chorus
Well jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Well, oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
J-J- jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
I say that oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse
One-horse open sleigh.

Milk And Cookie Blues
02:32
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
Milk and cookies all night long
Santa should have known there was something wrong
Found him a chimney a little too tight
Hear him yelling all through the night
Chorus
Don't light that fire
Don't light that fire
Yeah, Santa's got the milk and cookie blues.
Verse 2
No surprise that he got stuck
Can't even blame it on pure bad luck
Should have tried to control himself
His friends all said, You're big for an elf...
Chorus
Don't light that fire
Don't light that fire
Yeah, Santa's got the milk and cookie blues.
Go, Santa..
Verse 3
Well, Christmas morning he's still there
Can't seem to find no help anywhere
Hear them wondering all over town -
Is he halfway up, or halfway down?
Chorus
Don't light that fire
Don't light that fire
Yeah, Santa's got the milk and cookie blues.
Poor old Santa!

First Christmas Alone
03:40
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
No tree, no decorations, no stockings hung with care
I can't see the point when nobody's there
No ringing bells, not even the phone
It's my first Christmas alone.
Verse 2
We used to sing those carols, it's grown quiet this year
Without her beside me there's no Christmas cheer
It's a real silent night that turns my heart to stone
It's my first Christmas alone.
Break
Soon I know they'll be opening presents
Under those Christmas lights
For me there's no present, there's only the past
No future in sight, at least not tonight...
Verse 3
She didn't leave much, just a wreath on the door
It'll still be there next summer, I don't care any more
I wish Santa would bring me one reason why she's gone
It's my first Christmas alone.
Break
Soon I know they'll be opening presents
Under those Christmas lights
For me there's no present, there's only the past
No future in sight, at least not tonight...
Verse 4
She didn't leave much, just a wreath on the door
It'll still be there next summer, I don't care any more
I wish Santa would bring me one reason why she's gone
It's my first Christmas alone

Under My Tree

|

|
Verse 1:
This year I'm not hanging up my stocking
I don't need no presents, you see
I've got my heart's delight, oh what a pretty sight
My baby's sitting under my tree.
Verse 2
Last year about this time I was lonely
That's all I thought I'd ever be
But I found the perfect girl, oh, joy to the world
My baby's sitting under my tree.
Break
Well I wrote a nice long letter to Santa
And I told him what I wanted him to do
I asked him to send me a real true love
Looks like the old boy came through
Verse 3
Now I'm not gonna need no mistletoe
She saves her kisses for me
I'm a lucky guy, so Santa, pass me by
My baby's sitting under my tree.
No more lonely nights, hey Santa, I'm all right
My baby's sitting under my tree.
My baby's sitting under my tree.

You said we'd be together to have a happy holiday
Well you up and left me, you didn't have a word to say

Best wishes for the season, I hope all your Christmas dreams come true
Best wishes for the season, I hope all your Christmas dreams come true
Well, I can't have a merry Christmas, I'm too lonely missing you.

Santa Ain't Coming
02:27
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
Up at the north pole there's some real bad news
Santa's closed up the shop and laid off the crew
When they asked him about it, he just shook his head
And as he walked away a spokes-elf said
Chorus
Santa ain't coming, that's what he said
This Christmas morning might as well stay in bed
We must have done something to make him mad
Santa ain't coming, the whole world's been bad.
Verse 2
All over the world, countries feeling their oats
Butting their heads like some bad billy goats
Now the world's going to reap just what it sowed
'Cause there just ain't no dealing with an elf that's PO'd
Chorus
Santa ain't coming, that's what I hear
He don't want to deal with the fighting and fear
All over the world people gonna be sad
Santa ain't coming, the whole world's been bad.
Chorus
Santa ain't coming, just so you know
He must have used up all his ho-ho-ho's
Could be the worst Christmas we ever had
Santa ain't coming - he said he aint coming
Santa ain't coming, Santa aint coming, Santa ain't coming...

Dusty Woods Clementsvale, Nova Scotia
Born in BC, Canada in 1947, Dusty started performing in bands in his early teens. He was always honing his craft, learning
stagecraft from more experienced performers.
Dusty passed away in Nova Scotia in 2017. The man is gone, but his music lives on. Dusty's online presence is managed by Mrs. Dusty (Jeri-Lynn Woods). My goal is to share the magic and keep the Dusty Woods legacy alive.
