Marty Stuart - Even Santa Claus Gets the Blues lyrics

Lost my favorite reindeer in a hurricane
Got so get-away on a count of rain
Countin' my troubles by threes and by twos
Even Santa Claus gets the blues

Well, I wasn't given for
Just one silent night
Just me and mama close by
The warm fire light, yeah
But Christmas time is comin'
There's just so much to do
Even Santa Claus gets the blues

But I know every single chimney like
The back of my hand
People leave me milk and cookies
I just think that's grand
As the story goes, I'm a dearly loved man
But the reason for the season
Some folks just don't understand

So, it's back to the work
Shop to make more toys
Can't wait to give 'em to
All the girls and boys
I'm hookin' up my sleigh
Go ahead and spread the noose but sometimes
Even Santa Claus gets the blues

But I know every single chimney like
The back of my hand
People leave me milk and cookies
I just think that's grand
As the story goes, I'm a dearly loved man
But the reason for the season
Some folks just don't understand

He goes every single chimney like
The back of his hand
People leave him milk and cookies
And he think that's grand
As the story goes, he's a dear and loved man
The reason for the season
Some folks just don't understand

So, it's back to the work shop
Gotta make some more toys
Can't wait to give 'em to
All my girls and boys
I'm hookin' up my sleigh
Go ahead and spread the noose but sometimes
Sometimes even Santa Claus gets the blues
