This is December, the last month of the year 
This is December, the last month of the year 
Twenty-fourth day and Christmas is almost here 
Last Christmas mornin' I was standin' in the jailhouse cell 
Last Christmas mornin' I was standin' in the jailhouse cell 
And this Christmas I'm sick and can't get well 
I'm lying in my bed watching the snow-flakes fall 
I'm lying in my bed watching the snow-flakes fall 
Worried in mind 'cause I ain't got no baby at all
