 Flickr My heart is sad. Christmas is coming.

 Flickr I will pawn the watch my father gave me to buy a comb for her hair.
 Flickr Oh, mother, mother, what shall I do?
 Flickr I have no silver, I have no gold, to buy my love a gift this year.
 Flickr I will buy a watch chain for my love, when I sell my treasured hair.
 Flickr Darling, today is Christmas. What has become of your golden hair?
 Flickr I have traded my only treasure to buy these combs for your mane.
 Flickr Darling, we have lost our treasures. My gift to you is a golden chain.
 Flickr Though we have pawned away our treasures, these gifts are not in vain.
 Flickr The wise men came on Christmas morn, their gifts of love to bear.
 Flickr From that day on now we remember, our own true love to share.
