Merry Mcgee

Christmas time was here again It comes so fast these years 'Ole McGee sat with his wife As she was moved to tears Their children both had moved away Its years since they've been home And now sweet Mary and McGee Sit by their tree alone Suddenly McGee stood up And made a mournful grown Walked across a creaking floor To the table with the phone He called his daughter And he said, "I had it, and we're through We're getting a divorce, my dear And there's nothing you can do" "You can't be leaving mom, she said "And what's this all about Don't do nothing rash, please dad I'll take the first plane out" Before McGee hung up the phone Said ," tell your brother too And if he wants to have his say He can come along with you" She said " We'll be there in the morning As McGee hung up the phone Then walked back to his chair And sat there on his throne Then Mary asked McGee, As she wiped away a tear "What was that all about I couldn't hear my dear " McGee looked up surprised "Oh you mean that on the phone ? Well let's just say this Christmas, Our kids are coming home".
