A Bluesman's Christmas

Change in my strings by the TV light
 Someone walks past my room, whistling silent night
 The moon's on the rise, and it's silent alright
 Here at the highway Inn
 Down at the club, everyone is feeling fine
 The band's set to hit about a quarter past nine
 It's all friends and family, but none of their mind
 'Cause I'm on the road again
 It's a bluesman's Christmas, everyone is just the same
 Bluesman's Christmas, I'm still trying to quit my name
 Bluesman's Christmas, 'cause this is what I do
 Let me play the blues
 Let this be my gift to you
 ♪
 Oh, woman, I know this is hard on you too
 Oh, I'm sad I'm not there to spend Christmas with you
 But when I come home, girl, you've got loving to do
 Please, won't you say it's alright?
 'Cause you know I believe, and I hope, and I pray
 That all of this work is gonna pay off someday
 And then you and me, we can just fly away
 Please, kiss the baby's goodnight
 'Cause it's a bluesman's Christmas, everyone is just the same
 Bluesman's Christmas, I'm still trying to quit my name
 It's a bluesman's Christmas 'cause this is what I do
 Let me play the blues
 This will be my gift to you
 
 It's a bluesman's Christmas, 'cause this is what I do
 Let me play the blues
 This will be my gift to you
 Merry Christmas
 Oh, Merry Christmas to you
