You've got to go ho ho
♪
Trying so hard not to cry
Since they say a man ain't supposed to cry
But these tears keep running from my eyes
I remember the day I came to the city.
♪
My children were crying
My wife was scared she's gonna lose me
To the girls in the city
To make her feel alright
I said it's impossible
To make her feel alright
I said it's impossible but was wrong

Letters came from home

From my little daughter saying
"Missing you Daddy"

Sitting here in this train
Going so fast past the trees
I'm thinking of words to apologize
Cause sorry ain't enough

This is something you've got to do
You've to go ho ho
