Squirrel Nut Zippers - Gift Of The Magi lyrics

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
