Jim:My heart is sad, my soul is weary
|
Though Christmas day is fast appear
|
I have no silver I have no gold
|
To buy my wife a gift this year
|
To see her sad on Christmas morning
|
Is a thing I cannot bear
|
I'll pawn the watch my father gave me
|
To buy a come for her hair
|
Katharine:
|
Oh Mother, Mother what shall I do?
|
Though Christmas day is fast appear
|
I have no silver I have no gold
|
To buy my love a gift this year
|
For I am poor and I'm a beggar
|
Not a cent have I, no dime I claim
|
I'll trade the golden hair that is our pleasure
|
Buy for your watch a golden chain
|
Jim:
|
Darling, darling today is Christmas
|
What has become of your golden hair
|
For I've traded our only treasure
|
These silver combs for you to wear
|
Katharine:
|
Darling, darling we've lost our treasure
|
My gift to you is a golden chain
|
Though we've pawned away our only pleasures
|
These gifts we give are not in vain
|
All:
|
The wise men came on Christmas morning
|
Their gifts of love they came to bear
|
From that day on always remembered
|
Our own true love forever share
|
