Two-Step 'Round the Christmas Tree - Michael Martin Murphey

There’s a wondrous sight and a joyful sound

Every Christmas Eve in a western town

Gather up the kids

All the friends and family

'Cause the holly’s hung and the candle’s bright

Their tunin' up the fiddle’s on a moonlit night

Roll back the rug so we can

Two-step 'round the Christmas tree

There’s a jolly man in a bright red suit

Did you ever see a Santa in cowboy boots?

Twirlin' 'cross the floor

Spurs a-jinglin' merrily

When they sing those carols, soft and low

We’ll all be shoutin' out 'Cotton-eyed Joe'

Roll back the rug so we can

Two-step 'round the Christmas Tree

Waitin' 'neath the mistletoe

You’ll never get a kiss

I never move that slow

There’s to much I could miss

'Cause a western girl, can’t be still

And a silent night is not for me Roll back the rug so we can

Two-step 'round the Christmas Tree

Red bandanas, jelly green

Silver buckles on a new blue jeans

Jumpin' 'round the room

To a Yuletide melody

Well, I’m gonna be ready when Santa comes

But I’m gonna be dancin' 'til he does

Roll back the rug so we can

Two-step 'round the Christmas Tree

Waitin' 'neath the mistletoe

You’ll never get a kiss

I never move that slow

There’s to much I could miss

'Cause a western girl, can’t be still

And a silent night is not for me Roll back the rug so we can

Two-step 'round the Christmas Tree

Roll back the rug so we can

Two-step 'round the Christmas Tree
