C
There's a wondrous sight and a joyful sound
G7
Every Christmas Eve in a western town
C
Gather up the kids all the friends and family
Cause the holly's hung and the candle's bright
G7
Tuning up a fiddle on a moon lit night
C
Roll back the rug so we can two step 'round the Christmas tree
There's a jolly man in a bright red suit
G7
Did you ever see a Santa in cowboy boots
C
Twirling across the floor spurs a-jingling merrily
As they sing those carols soft and low
G7
We'll all be shouting out cotton-eyed Joe
C
Roll back the rug so we can two step 'round the Christmas tree
F C G7 C
Waiting 'neath the mistletoe you'll never get a kiss
B C D7 G7
I never move that slow there's too much I could miss
C
Cause a western girl can't be still
G7
And a silent night is not for me
C
Roll back the rug so we can two step 'round the Christmas Tree
Red Bandanas chili green
G7
Silver buckles on a new blue jeans
C
Jumping 'round the room to a yule tide melody
I'm gonna be ready when Santa's comes
G7
But I'm gonna be dancing 'til he does
C
Roll back the rug so we can two step 'round the Christmas tree
Repeat #3
G7 C
Roll back the rug so we can two step 'round the Christmas tree
