Tuning up a fiddle ^F#on a moon lit night ^F#Roll back the rug so we can Two step '^Bround the Christmas tree

Waiting 'neath the mistletoe ^F#you'll never get a ^Bkiss I never ^F#move that slow there's to much I could ^Bmiss ^B'Cause a western girl can't sit still And a silent night is ^F#not for me ^F#Roll back the rug so we can Two step 'round the ^BChristmas Tree
