[00:31.41]Once I found a stowaway,
[00:34.26]upon my ship on Christmas day.
[00:37.15]I was fair so I gave him a chance.
[00:42.76]"You shouldn't be here, what's your tale?
[00:46.28]I ought to throw you to the whale."
[00:49.27]He just smiled and said, "Come here, let's dance."
[00:54.89]He said, "Borrow or steal, I'll find a way,
[00:58.28]to be with my lover upon Christmas day.
[01:01.11]And I'll run and I'll roam, I'll cover the ground.
[01:04.22]This Christmas I'll see you, I'll be around."
[01:07.38]He told me about his girl back home,
[01:16.08]waiting patient all alone.
[01:19.17]While we danced, I shed a little tear.
[01:24.60]He closed his eyes, all out at sea,
[01:28.35]I think he danced with her not me.
[01:31.18]"I'll just have to wait another year."
[01:36.50]He said, "Borrow or steal, I'll find a way,
[01:40.19]to be with my lover upon Christmas day.
[01:42.99]And I'll run and I'll roam, I'll cover the ground.
[01:46.28]This Christmas I'll see you, I'll be around."
[01:49.35]I think of him, now and again,
[01:55.07]I wonder how his journey ends.
[01:58.26]As I sail by on my lonesome sea.
[02:03.62]That stranger with that hunting face,
[02:07.28]here then gone without a trace.
[02:10.33]Lying with his love that's where he'll be.
[02:15.62]"Beg, borrow or steal, I'll find a way,
[02:19.10]to be with my lover next Christmas day.
[02:22.06]And I'll run and I'll roam, I'll cover the ground.
[02:25.32]Next Christmas I'll see you, I'll be around."
[02:28.15]"Beg, borrow or steal, I'll find a way,
[02:31.22]to be with my lover next Christmas day.
[02:34.11]And I'll run and I'll roam, I'll cover the ground.
[02:37.16]Next Christmas I'll see you, I'll be around."
[02:40.24]"Beg, borrow or steal, I'll find a way,
[02:49.19]to be with my lover next Christmas day.
[02:52.18]And I'll run and I'll roam, I'll cover the ground.
[02:55.18]Next Christmas I'll see you, I'll be around."
[02:58.24]"Beg, borrow or steal, I'll find a way,
[03:01.01]to be with my lover next Christmas day.
[03:04.16]And I'll run and I'll roam, I'll cover the ground.
[03:07.21]Next Christmas I'll see you, I'll be around."
