Shouldn’t Have Given Him A Gun For Christmas

Lyrics

There's been snow-covered Christmases and ones just of rain Of [?] and warm bread and shiny toy trains And though they've always been different They've always been the best Yet there's one I remember more tenderly than all the rest It all began with Uncle Jack He made a crack and wouldn't take it back Dad was drinkin' and he got sore There was a flash on the crash Onto the manger on the floor I shouldn't have given him a gun for Christmas Shouldn't havе given him a gun, gun, gun Shouldn't have given him a gun for Christmas Look what Daddy has donе, done, done He put three slugs into the neighbor's dog And kicked him by the manger scene The plastic baby Jesus he blew to smithereens I can't think about the nine-year-olds who won't be seeing ten How he went a-caroling to the doors of now-dead men I shouldn't have given him a gun for Christmas Shouldn't have given him a gun, gun, gun Shouldn't have given him a gun for Christmas Look what Daddy has done, done, done Shouldn't have given him a gun for Christmas Shouldn't have given him a gun, gun, gun Shouldn't have given him a gun for Christmas Look what Daddy has done, done, done O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum [???] [???] sunshine Nein auch im Winter Wenn es schneit O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum [???] Of course, I can repeat those I [?]... Ahhh, yeah! Shouldn't have given him a gun for Christmas Shouldn't have given him a gun, gun, gun Shouldn't have given him a gun for Christmas Look what Daddy has done, done, done Shouldn't have given him a gun for Christmas Shouldn't have given him a gun, gun, gun Shouldn't have given him a gun for Christmas Look what Daddy has done, done, done Shouldn't have given him a gun for Christmas Shouldn't have given him a gun, gun, gun Shouldn't have given him a gun for Christmas Look what Daddy has done, done, done Shouldn't have given him a gun for Christmas Look what Daddy has done, done, done Shouldn't have given him a gun for Christmas Shouldn't have given him a gun, gun, gun Shouldn't have given him a gun for Christmas Look what Daddy has done, done, done Shouldn't have given him a gun for Christmas Look what Daddy has done, done, done
