My woman put me out because I drank u p all the booze
Now i got them doggone mean old wintertime blues
Oh mama
Do me like you did before
Keep your lights burnin' at your window
And please don't lock that door
Cold wind's blowin'
Snow scattered on the ground
Her love and sweet mercy
is nowhere to be found
Oh mama
Do me like you did before
Keep your lights burnin' at your window
And please don't lock that door
I wish today was christmas
Somethin' I sure could use
A coat to keep me warm
And, Lord, a good pair of leather shoes
Oh mama
Do me like you did before
Keep your lights burnin' at your window
And please don't lock that door
Take me back, sweet mama
Just this one more time
I know there got to be smethin' I could say
To make you change your mind
Oh mama
Do me like you did before
Keep your lights burnin' at your window
And please don't lock that door
I wish I was workin'
But my job my job ain't here no more
I ain't doing a damn thing, baby
But draggin' from door to door
Oh mama
Do me like you did before
Keep your lights burnin' at your window
And please don't lock that door
