Biography:
Mary Gauthier (born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in 1962) is an American country and folk singer/songwriter. Given up at birth by a mother she never knew, Mary was adopted. At age 15, she ran away from home and stole her parents' car, and spent the next several years in detox, halfway houses, and living with friends; she spent her 18th birthday in jail. These experiences provided fodder for her songwriting later on (particularly her song "Drag Queens in Limousines").

[Verse 1]
A A A A
Davey stole a Christmas tree from K-Mart last night,

Looked down and smiled at me!
[Verse 2]
A A A A
My bed is a lawn chair, cushions keep it soft,

Christmas in paradise, under the Cow Key Bridge,
A (A/E) (A/F#) A E
Where the warm breeze blows so nice,
E7 A
And the land - lord ...forgives!
[Verse 3]
(A/E) A A
Snowbirds, on the golf course,
(A/E) A A
Wear Ber - muda shorts and polo shirts,
A A (A/E) A A7 (A7/C#)
Some play pretty good, some play so bad it hurts,
D D (D/A) D D
We pick up their golf balls ...that fly over the fence,
(A/E) A A
We shine 'em up a little bit,
E A
Sell 'em back for fifty cents!
[Chorus]
