Recorded by Mickey Gilley
Written by Ralph James Murphy
G C
Well you left me in the spring the snow was melting
D7 G
And I grieved all through the summer and the fall
C
Now it's deep December and you know what honey
A7
It's just too hard to remember
D7 G
I'm gonna go to Gilley's and have a ball
C
It's gonna be a honky tonk Christmas this year
D7 G
Now since you've gone I can't go on no more
C
The house just seems so empty and your memory so dear
D7 G
It's gonna be a honky tonk Christmas this year
C
Well it's playing Christmas records on that old jukebox
D7 G
Yall remember Brenda Lee she's rocking around the tree
C A7
Well I feel so all alone girl Lord I wish you'd come back home
D7 G
Happiness is just a memory
Repeat #2
D7 G
It's gonna be a honky tonk Christmas this year
