• Christmas In Carrick

On the road the frost is glistenin', people stream from midnight mass,
Friendly candles glow in windows, strangers greet you as you pass;
Home again to the laden table, ham and goose and pints of beer,
Whiskey handed 'round in tumblers, Christmas comes but once a year.

Puddings made with eggs and treakles, seeded raisins and ground suet,
Save the bread crumbs and mixed spices, grated rind and plenty fruit;
Cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg, porter, brandy and old ale,
Don't forget the wine and whiskey, Christmas comes but once a year.

Women fussing in the kitchen, layin' the food on every plate,
Men are patient in the hallway gulpin' porter while they wait;
Who cares if it pours tomorrow, now's the time to spread good cheer,
Pass the punch around the table, Christmas comes but once a year.
