Jack Lorry - Mama, Santa & Cowboys Lyrics

When the blue northern wind blows from New Mexico
On the prairie outside Amarillo
That's when my mama starts thinkin on Santa
And what he might bring her this year

No there ain't many gifts to put under the tree
Just a handwritten card from my mama to me
And mama said don't go a'wishin that he'd show
We're better off without him here

Mom, are you talkin' 'bout Santa
Cause I don't really get what your sayin'
Mama said Santa and Cowboys
Are kinda the same, 'n' don't ask me again

Mama says don't wait for Santa to come
He'll say he'll bring presents but don't you believe him
He's saddlin' up reindeer to bring all that good cheer
I ain't seen him yet but she swears he's for real

Mama said milk and cookies won't do for this year
So we're leaving him cigarettes, whiskey and beer
And mama's got a new dress for Santa this Christmas
I just hope that there's somethin' for me

Mom, are you talkin' 'bout Santa
Cause I don't really get what your sayin'
Mama said Santa and Cowboys
Are kinda the same, 'n' don't ask me again

Was the night before Christmas and I woke around one
I snuck out of my room to see if Santa would come
Saw him walk out the door, cowboy boots on I'm sure
And no gifts in his sack, but a big cowboy hat

Mom, are you talkin' 'bout Santa
Cause I don't really get what your sayin'
Mama said Santa and Cowboys
Are kinda the same, 'n' don't ask me again
Mom, are you talkin' 'bout Santa
Cause I don't really get what your sayin'
Mama said Santa and Cowboys
Are kinda the same, 'n' don't ask me again
