Christmas 1952

I hope it’s snowing somewhere –
it never snows down here.
But I’m still glad to see Christmas
‘cause ‘52 was not my year.
But things are gonna be different –
that’s what Mary Ann keeps telling me,
in the year of Our Lord
nineteen hundred and fifty three.

Well, me and Mary Ann Miller,
we’ll be out on the dance floor tonight.
They’ll be playing that Western music
underneath them old coloured lights.
And we’ll be making our lives together –
that’s how it’s gonna be –
in the year of Our Lord
nineteen hundred and fifty three.

The guy in the vest at the gas pumps says:
“I see Hank Williams been in trouble again.”
And he smiles when he says: “He must be finished this time”
But I say: “I don’t believe that old line.
He’s just gonna get better and better –
you can take that word from me –
in the year of Our Lord
nineteen hundred and fifty three.”

Repeat first verse...
