Xmas Time In Jessup
I'm stuck here in prison behind these old brick walls
Down here by the railroad tracks where Jessup made his cut
He took two hundred thousand tons of clay to clear them
Made the walls too high for happy Christmas nights
It's Christmas time in Jessup. We're all locked up at the Cut.
Barbwire hangs instead of Christmas lights [last time to outro]
I'm hunkered down in a jail cell. And no one gives a shit.
My lawyer's on vacation, can't get me out of it.
OUTRO: ...in prison here tonight.
Why I shot that man in Fells Point anyone can understands
I caught him with my lover and it changed all my plans
Instead of Christmas Stockings I got prison socks and bread.
Bad meat loaf in the oven bad thoughts inside my head.
Now I am such an woman and I'll never see the light.
That man I shot in Fells Point... wasn't worth the fight.
The girl she up and married Now my lawyer's second wife.
Another lonely Christmas … for me tonight.

Christmas Without You

Christmas Without You
It wouldn't be Christmas without a little snow
It wouldn't be Christmas without ribbons and bows
Pretty packages wrapped up, Christmas time is near
But it won't be like Christmas with out you here.
It wouldn't be Christmas without lights on the tree
Bright red, green and blue ones for reindeer to see
Little children singing, voices full of good cheer
But it won't be like Christmas with out you here.
Bridge: We'll all be waiting all eyes on the door.
Anticipating your smile once more.
It won't feel like Christmas in our little town tonight.
No holiday wishes any joy or delight
We wait for your arrival. And wish a healthy New Year,
But it won't feel like Christmas with out you here.
Tag:
How do we get through this Christmas with out you here?

Dear Santa
Dear Santa, don’t want no train.
Dear Santa, I don’t need a plane.
Dear Santa, please cut me some slack,
All I want for Christmas is my baby back
Dear Santa, I got everything I need.
Dear Santa, I’m down on my knees.
Dear Santa, please cut me some slack,
All I want for Christmas is my baby back.
I miss that lovin'. It was oh so good!
I miss that lovin' . I should have knocked on wood.
And now I miss it every night,
I’m hoping Mr. Clause you'll bring it back tonight!
Dear Santa, My baby knows how to walk.
Dear Santa, My baby knows how to talk.
Dear Santa, please cut me some slack,
All I want for Christmas is my baby back.
Dear Santa, I'll try not to pout.
Dear Santa, Don't make me shout.
Dear Santa, please cut me some slack,
All I want for Christmas is my baby back…

When Santa Was A Pagan

When Santa Was A Pagan
When Santa was a pagan we had so much fun
We danced around the fire until we saw the sun
The moon was full and glowing as we danced under the light
When Santa was a pagan we danced all through the night
When Santa was a pagan our life was filled with joy
We ate the sacred mushroom no cheap commercial toys
We stopped to smell the cedar embrace the Mystery
When Santa was a pagan we worshiped at the Tree
When Santa was a pagan all the children sang
They danced and sang and worshiped and never saw their shame
Rome stole away our Christmas and left us with the blame
When Santa was a pagan the devil stole his name
The world is filled with trouble and all of life's a sin
Or so they try to tell us the sin is being pagan
So now we all got Christmas but the spirit burns like gas
When Santa was a pagan... Solstice was a Hallowed Mass

Georgie Jessup Jessup, Maryland
Old school country to Memphis R&B influences her music placing it in the Americana genre, outspoken for animal rights, Native American issues, transgender rights and environmental sanity. “Georgie sings from the heart, like a rare flower in a wilderness. She speaks to us about the deepest issues. Issues that all of us should care about, but so many of us pretend don’t affect us.” ~ Candye Kane ... more
