Squirrel Nut Zippers - Gift of The Magi lyrics
"Jim:
My heart is sad, my soul is weary
Though Christmas day is fast appear'n.
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 comb for her hair
Katharine:
Oh mother, mother what shall I do?
Though Christmas day is fast appear'n.
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 chainSquirrel Nut Zippers - Gift of The Magi - http://motolyrics.com/squirrel-nut-zippers/gift-of-the-magi-lyrics.html
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"
