Dan Schinhofen Hard Dozen Blues (12 Days Of Christmas) Lyrics

Hard Dozen Blues

What good are 2 turtle doves, a Partridge in a pear tree
She run off with them Lords, forgot about me.
Chours
The 12 days of Christmas, The Hardest Dozen you'll ever do.
These 12 days of Christmas, Bring me nothin' but the Blues
(Only make me sing the Blues) last pass

I gave her 3 French Hens, 4 calling birds
She wanted 5 gold rings too, not ain't that absurd?

I brought her 6 Geese that lay, and seven swans that swam. She never answered the door, she's making Merry with her men.
Chours (Repeat chours for solo)

Well I've got 9 ladies waitin' for me, and 8 milking maids.
She can her Lords, those Gold rings they can fade.

I got Drummers a drummin', and a Piping hot guitar
I'll spend Christmas with the ladies, Down at the bar
Chours (Followed by verse pattern solo and fade)
(Fade with voices over solo wishing merry Christmas and where's your old ladyetc)
