There's a wondrous sight and a joyful sound Every Christmas Eve in a western town Gather up the kids All the friends and family 'Cause the holly's hung and the candle's bright Their tunin' up the fiddle's on a moonlit night Roll back the rug so we can Two-step 'round the Christmas tree There's a jolly man in a bright red suit Did you ever see a Santa in cowboy boots? Twirlin' 'cross the floor Spurs a-jinglin' merrily When they sing those carols, soft and low We'll all be shoutin' out 'Cotton-eyed Joe' Roll back the rug so we can Two-step 'round the Christmas Tree Waitin' 'neath the mistletoe You'll never get a kiss I never move that slow There's to much I could miss 'Cause a western girl, can't be still
And a silent night is not for me Roll back the rug so we can Two-step 'round the Christmas Tree Red bandanas, jelly green Silver buckles on a new blue jeans Jumpin' 'round the room To a Yuletide melody Well, I'm gonna be ready when Santa comes But I'm gonna be dancin' 'til he does Roll back the rug so we can Two-step 'round the Christmas Tree Waitin' 'neath the mistletoe You'll never get a kiss I never move that slow There's to much I could miss 'Cause a western girl, can't be still And a silent night is not for me Roll back the rug so we can Two-step 'round the Christmas Tree Roll back the rug so we can Two-step 'round the Christmas Tree
