We've been talking a lot about families
here in this part of the show and the Christmas fun.
And we couldn't let this show go by
without having all of you meet two people that we talk about a lot
because we're very proud of them.
Our mom and dad, Mary and Irby Mandrell.
_ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] We are so glad you could be [G] with us.
Oh, don't I look like my [A] mom?
[G] _ You think I'm gonna say I look like my dad?
_ [G#] Hey, Dad.
I'm just kidding, Dad.
Hey, when they [G] put the makeup on you, you're gonna look wonderful.
[D#] What are you getting here for Christmas?
[N] _
[Gm] Yeah.
Wait a minute.
_ Who might, you know?
Do you remember?
[G]
I was 16 years old, I think, when this happened.
Every year, folks, I would get my dad a present
and he'd always guess what it was and it really upset me
because anybody wants to surprise a person their whole life.
I think you know what I'm telling.
I decided this one year, and I'm sure it was when I was 16,
I was not gonna let him do that to me.
And [C#] I bought this wonderful gift.
I was so proud.
I'd spent my money.
I saved up.
It was a gold lighter.
And I had the jewelry store wrap it [G] all pretty and everything.
And I was in a little box and I took it home and put it in a bigger box.
And I stuffed paper and put it in a [F] bigger box and find a box that was as big as [B] me.
And I put on a two dad love Barbara and I was so glad because I finally got it right.
Do you remember what you did?
Oh, yeah.
I called you on the phone.
Barbara, what's getting you father for Christmas this year?
[N] He says a gold cigarette lighter.
It was his favorite.
Thank you.
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
Did you like our Christmas season?
Oh, yeah, it was great.
It feels like home, doesn't it?
You know, there's one song at Christmas time I really like.
I didn't hear you sing it. What song?
The one I taught you kids.
Oh, yeah.
You wouldn't do that.
[F#] Yeah, we'd do that.
Mom never was [D#] real crazy about this song.
Let's do [G] it anyway.
It's Christmas time, Mom.
You know, be generous.
I think the folks at home will love this song.
Dad, I think I still remember the words.
Let's try it.
What do you think?
_ Black Jack, the famous bandit, had a very shiny nose.
[D] And if you [Am] ever saw it, you would turn [G] around and run.
All of the other bandits used to laugh and call his [Am] name.
They never let poor Black Jack join in [G] any poker game.
[C] Then one [G] foggy Christmas Eve, Santa came to say,
[A] Black Jack, with your guns away.
[D] _ _ _ [G]
Then all the bandits loved him, had to count it out with glee.
[D] Black Jack, the famous [Am] bandit, you'll go down in [G] history.
[Em] You [G] all got it? _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I'm sorry about walking on that.
I forgot it's been a long day. _ _
[B] I think Silent Night would be nice.
I like that.
If, if.
_ [E]
[G] And if she does, folks, we have accomplished a lot.
Let me [E] tell you.
I did not say, and none of us girls got our mouths from [G] our mothers.
_ _ [E] This is one of our favorites.
You at [Em] home, help her.
You say, [E] Silent Night, _ _ holy night.
[G#m] _ _ [Bm] Oh, come _
[E] all ye faithful, [A] _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [B] and join us in a one-horse open _ [Bm] sleigh.
