[Verse 1]
GIt was almost Christmas time,
DThere I stood in another line
CTrying to buy the last gift or two,
DNot really in the Christmas mood.
GStanding right in front of me
DWas a little boy waiting anxiously,
CPacing round like little boys do,
DAnd in his hands, were a pair of shoes.
GAnd his clothes were worn aG/F#nd old.
EmHe was dirty from head to Dtoe,
CAnd when it came his time to Dpay,
CI couldn't believe what I heard him Dsay.
[Chorus]
ASir, I wanna buy these sEhoes for my mF#momma plEease.
DIt's Christmas Eve and these sEhoes are just her sAize.
ACould you hurry, SEir?
F#mDaddy says there's not much tEime.
DYou see she's been sick for quEite a while;
DAnd I, know these shoes will mEake her smile.
DAnd I, want her look beautiful if MEomma meets Jesus tonight.

GHe counted pennies for what seemed like years
DThen the cashier said Son there's not enough here.

[Verse 1]

It was almost Christmas time,

There I stood in another line

Trying to buy the last gift or two,

Not really in the Christmas mood.

Standing right in front of me

Was a little boy waiting anxiously,

Pacing round like little boys do,

And in his hands, were a pair of shoes.

G G/F#

And his clothes were worn and old.

He was dirty from head to toe,

And when it came his time to pay,

Though most years she just did without.

Tell me, Sir, what am I gonna do?

Somehow I've got to buy these Christmas shoes!
