Verse 1
Em 
Hey, that was good, Horace.
Mighty good singing.
Sure was,
Thank you, thank you.
Hey, Paul.
Paul, what's going on
between you and Abby?
What? Yeah, yeah, Paul.
G 
She looked like she just
found you
Em 
and her Christmas dog in her sump 'n.
No, she has got her cat set for you, Paul.
Oh, yeah.
Now, cut that out, both of you.
Now, Horace,
all I said was she looked pretty,
and then...
Now, stop your laughing.
Oh, here she comes.
Boys, don't you think we'd better go
G 
pour the apple jack?
Em 
Yeah, Paul, we'll do that.
I'll fetch the glasses,
D 
Well, wait for me!
Em 
Oh, yes, Abby.
Don't you have some tallow
candles about the place?
Well, yes, yes.
Adam put them somewhere.
G 
Now let me see...
Em 
By the way, where is Adam?
I haven't seen him tonight.
Well, Abby, he's in St. Joe.
He won't be home till after New Year's,
I'm afraid. Oh, that's a shame.
I was hoping he'd sing that sweet
old spiritual again.
I remember last year when he sang it,
Bm 
George Ingersoll was with me.
And George took hold of my hand,
B 
E

and I thought he was going to propose.

It was such a pretty song,
but George didn't propose.
You'll have to do something
very special tonight, Ben,
to make up for my disappointment.
Well, Abby, I'll sure try.
Hey, Paul.
Cider's all poured.
Oh, good.
Abby, how about a glass of Applejack
to start with, huh?
Everybody got some cider?
Yeah.
Good, good, good.
I'd like to propose a
Christmas toast.
Friendship is the wine of life.
The longer we keep it,
the stronger and sweeter it grows. So my friends,
let's drink to each other,
and to the best friend of all
who was born this night.
That's lovely, Ben.
Here's to you.
Here's to you, son.
To Joe.
Merry Christmas. Christmas.
