There's a wonderous 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 Tuning up a fiddle on a moon lit 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 Twirling across the floor spurs a-jingling merrily As they sing those carols soft and low We'll all be shouting out cotton-eyed Joe Roll back the rug so we can two step 'round the Christmas tree Waiting '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, kelly green, Silver buckles on a new blue jeans Jumpin' 'round the room to a yule tide melody I'm gonna be ready when Santa's comes But I'm gonna be dancing til he does Roll back the rug so we can two step 'round the Christmas tree Waiting '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
