A Rootin' Tootin' Santa Claus - Tennessee Ernie Ford

Catfish boogie-woogie boogie-woogie, boogie-woogie Catfish boogie-woogie, boogie-woogie, boogie-woogie Woke up this morning about half past four Who'd I see tiptoeing cross my floor My everlovin' baby with a rod in her hand Headin' for the creek called Catfish Land She yelled at me and said, git up son Come along with me and let's have some fun I grabbed my bridges and a long cane pole Headed for the red hot catfish hole Catfish boogie-woogie, boogie-woogie, boogie-woogie Catfish boogie-woogie, boogie-woogie, boogie-woogie Catfish boogie, do it, baby with me We arrived post haste on the bank of the creek Don't make no noise, don't even speak She threaded a worm right on that hook And dropped it in the water in a shady nook The bopper jumped when mister whiskers hit My gal flipped and throed a fit She pulled and tugged and yelled, what's wrong I said, baby he's a big and that cat's real gone Catfish boogie-woogie, boogie-woogie, boogie-woogie Catfish boogie-woogie, boogie-woogie, boogie-woogie Catfish boogie, do it, baby with me We fished for a while, caught a great big mess A long string of blue cap hapiness She smiled at me and her eyes did roll She said, set your pole and let's take a stroll We walked along the creek, me and my miss She gave me a hug and a great big kiss She held me close and said, I love you I said, I got all of this and fishin' too Catfish boogie-woogie, boogie-woogie, boogie-woogie Catfish boogie-woogie, boogie-woogie, boogie-woogie Catfish boogie, do it, baby with me

He walks with me and He talks with me And He tells me, I am His own And the joy we share as we tarry there None other has ever known I come to the garden alone While the dew is still on the roses And the voice I hear, falling on my ear The Son of God discloses And He walks with me and He talks with me And He tells me, I am His own And the joy we share as we tarry there None other has ever known He speaks and the sound of His voice Is so sweet the birds hush their singing And the melody that He gave to me Within my heart is ringing And He walks with me, and He talks with me And He tells me, I am His own And the joy we share as we tarry there None other,(other) has ever(ever) known Wwlks with me and talks with me And he tells me I am His own

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross The emblem of suffering and shame And I love that old cross where the dearest and best For a world of lost sinners was slain So I'll cherish the old rugged cross (Rugged cross) Till my trophies at last I lay down I will cling to the old rugged cross (Rugged cross) And exchange it some day for a crown To the old rugged cross I will ever be true Its shame and reproach gladly bear Then He'll call me some day to my home far away Where His glory forever I'll share So I'll cherish the old rugged cross (Rugged cross) Till my trophies at last I lay down I will cling to the old rugged cross (Rugged cross) And exchange it some day for a crown And exchange it some day for a crown
