Christmas Carol

By Skip Ewing

G C

I was playin’ Santa Claus downtown on Christmas Eve

D G

When a little girl of 3 or 4 climbed up onto my knee

G C

I could tell she had a Christmas wish behind those eyes of blue

D G

So I asked her “What’s your name and what can Santa do for you?”

Chorus:

C G

She said, “My name is Christmas Carol, I was born on Christmas Day

C G A7 D

I don’t know who my daddy is and mommy’s gone away

C G C

All I want for Christmas is someone to take me home

D G

Does anybody want a Christmas Carol of their own?”

A D

Well all that I could say was Santa would do the best he could

E7 A

And I set her down and told her now remember to be good

A D

She said “I will” and walked away, turned to wave goodbye

E7 A

And I’m glad she wasn’t close enough to see old Santa cry

Chorus in A

Early Christmas morning I got up and dialed the phone

And made a few arrangements at the County Children’s home

They told me it would be all right to pick her up today

Now my little Christmas Carol won’t ever have to say
