Christmas In Southgate - Ry Cooder[00:00:01]

Well you got no credit and I got no cash[00:00:16]

Now that bonus they give us was nothing but trash[00:00:25]

You been laid off at Goodyear I been laid off at Hughes[00:00:34]

It looks like a bad year there just ain't no use[00:00:42]

'Cause it's Christmas in Southgate you been a true friend[00:00:46]

I ain't never been much of a churchgoing man[00:00:52]

But I'd even give up drinkin' whiskey and gin[00:00:57]

If Jesus and Santa Claus ever get back down to Southgate again[00:01:05]

Well the telephone rang and it jumped off the wall[00:01:29]

Says We're sorry Buddy but we can't place your call[00:01:34]

'Cause Jesus don't answer Santa ain't got back yet[00:01:40]

What's a poor old Red Cat got a right to expect [00:01:45]

So I called up my banker to ask for a loan[00:01:50]

Said It's Christmas Eve Buddy there ain't no one home[00:01:55]

Then I called up my preacher and he said We're through[00:02:00]

What the heck is a poor old Red Cat gonna do [00:02:08]

Now I'd work any job just to clear a day's pay[00:02:13]

Except for being President of the old USA[00:02:18]

Now that's dirty work Lefty no future it's true[00:02:23]

I'd rather drink up my last nickel with you[00:02:28]

Well it's Christmas in Southgate you been a true friend[00:02:36]

I ain't never been much of a churchgoin' man[00:02:42]

But I'd even give up drinkin' whiskey and gin[00:02:47]

If Jesus and Santa Claus ever come back down to Southgate again[00:02:55]
