Port Starboard Sox - Kate & Anna McGarrigle

I woke this morn and there beside my bed

I lay two stockings

And one was green and one was red

Should I put them on my feet

Or match them on my head

I think I'll wear my port starboard socks

They'll bring me luck tonight

The red one's on the left foot

And the green one's on the right

I love to wear my port starboard socks

They chase my blues away

When I wear my port starboard socks

It's Christmas every day

Stop and go hot and cold

The ember and the envy

Red and green a Christmas scene

The holly and the ivy

I think I'll weave port starboard socks

For Santa and his reindeer

I'll find a great big cardboard box

And fill it with good cheer

A streak of red and one of green

Like ribbons wound and curled

We'll make a great big Christmas wreath

That goes around the whole world

Stop and go hot and cold

The ember and the envy

Red and green a Christmas scene

The holly and the ivy

I woke this morn and there beside my bed

Lay two stockings one was green and one was red

Should I put them on my feet

Or match them on my head
