Going to catch that old Greyhound : going to ride from

town going to ride from town to town

Then I will find my little woman : don't think she can't

be don't think she can't be found



Now Mr redcap porter : won't you help me with my heavy

won't you help me with my heavy load

Say now my woman she done and quit me : she's far on down

the she's far on down the road



Then I know my little woman : she bound to love she bound

to love me some

When she throws her arms around poor me : like the circle

around a like the circle around the sun



It's the day before Christmas : let me bring your

presents let me bring your presents tonight

Then I will be your Santy Claus : says even if my

whiskers says even if my whiskers ain't white
