Sung as a duet.
Him:
EMy heart is Bsad, my soul is Eweary
EThough Christmas Bday is fast apEpear
I have no Asilver I have no gEold
ETo buy my wife a gBift this yeaEr
ETo see her Bsad on Christmas moErning
EIs a tBhing I cannot Ebear
I'll pawn the Awatch my father gEave me
ETo buy a comb Bfor her Ehair
Her:
EOh Mother, BMother what shall I Edo?
EThough Christmas Bday is fast aEppear
I have no sAilver I have no Egold
ETo buy my Blove a gift this Eyear
EFor I am Bpoor and I'm a bEeggar
ENot a cent have BI, no dime I cElaim
I'll trade the Agolden hair that is our pEleasure
EBuy for your watch a gBolden Echain
Him:
EDarling, Bdarling today is ChrEistmas
EWhat has becBome of your golden Ehair
For I've tAraded our only trEeasure
EThese silver combs for yBou to Ewear
Her:
EDarling, Bdarling we've lost our trEeasure
EMy gift to Byou is a golden cEhain
Though we've Apawned away our only pEleasures
EThese gifts we give are Bnot in Evain
