Christmas Mornin' Blues - Kansas City Kitty

作词：Thelma Holmes

作曲：Thelma Holmes

I woke up christmas morning went out to get my morning's mail

I woke up christmas morning went out to get my morning's mail

A letter sent from georgia the postmark said atlanta jail

In a mean old jailhouse 'cause he broke them georgia laws

In a mean old jailhouse 'cause he broke them georgia laws

New year he won't be here 'cause death will be his santa claus

My man's so deep in trouble the white folks couldn't get him free

My man's so deep in trouble the white folks couldn't get him free

He stole a hog horse the charge was murder in the first degree

Christmas bells are ringing sounded like my funeral song

Christmas bells are ringing sounds jus' like my funeral song

My poor man done left here i know i ain't gonna be here long

Ain't never had a christmas with trouble like this before

Ain't never had a christmas with trouble like this before

Sleigh bells are my death bells hard luck's knocking at my door

Next christmas i won't be here to hear no bunch of bad bad news

Next christmas i won't be here to get no bunch of bad bad news

Just mark on my tombstone died with the christmas morning blues
