What a wondrous sight and a joyful sound
Every Christmas Eve in a western town
Gather up the kids all the friends and the 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 merrily
When 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
Well I never move that slow there's too 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

Got a red bandanas, and a chile's green,
Silver buckles on new blue jeans
Shufflin' 'round the floor to a yule tide melody
I'm gonna be ready when Santa's comes
But I'm gonna be dancing till he does
Roll back the rug so we can two step 'round the Christmas tree

Waiting 'neath that mistletoe you'll never get a kiss
I never move that slow there's too 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
