F
Eb
T'was the night before
Bb
not even a mouse
F
Bb
Eb
The stockings were hung by the
Cm
chimney with care
Eb
Gm
In hopes that St. Nich
olas soon would be there
Eb
Bb
While visions of sugar- plums danced
And mamma in her 'kerchief,
Cm
Eb
and I in my cap
Had just settled our brains for a
long winter's nap
When out on the lawn there arose such
a clatter
That I sprang from the bed to see what
Bb
Gm
was the matter
like a flash
Tore open the shutters and
Bb
Eb
The moon on the breast
of the new- fallen snow
to objects below
dering eyes should appear
Bb
Eb

Bb
Eb
St. Nick
More rapid than eagles his coursers
Ab

Bb
Eb

his head like a wreath
Bb
Cm
He had a broad face and a

Cm
a right jolly old elf
Eb
Bb
A wink of his eye and a twist
to his work
And filled all the
stockings; then turned with a jerk
Bb
Eb
Cm
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose
F
Bb
He sprang to his sleigh,
to his team gave a whistle
like the down of a thistle
Bb
Eb
But I heard him exclaim, 'ere
F

and to all a good- night."
