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 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
Twirling across the floor spurs a-jingling merri-ly
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 melo-dy
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
