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
