  • Merry Christmas baby, you sure did treat me nice
    Merry Christmas baby, you sure did treat me nice
    Gave me a diamond ring for Christmas
    Now I'm living in paradise

    Well I'm feelin' mighty fine, got good music on my radio
    Well I'm feelin' mighty fine, got good music on my radio
    Well I want to kiss you baby,
    While you're standing 'neath the mistletoe

    Saintee came down the chimney
    'Bout half past three
    Left all these pretty presents
    That you see before me
    Merry Christmas pretty baby, you sure been good to me
    I haven't had a drink this morning
    But I'm all lit up like a Christmas tree Writer/s: Johnny Dudley Moore, Lou Baxter

  • Henryj from Reno, NevadaAs a young man carousing the bars around Jersey City, New Jersey. In the 70's there was an older man who would sometimes stop in a bar in the town of Secaucus, NJ. He would join the house band and sing a couple of Drifter songs. ' Under the Boardwalk, and Dance the night Away '. He was in his sixties. I found out he used to be one of the Drifters in the sixties and his name was Buddy Moore. The Drifters did have a member named Johnny Moore at one time. Buddy lived in Jersey City and i saw him once at a Pizza Place in the Journal Square area and said hello to him. I can't say for certain this man was the same Johnny Moore but he just might of been. He wouldn't be the only Black singer who settled in Jersey City. Richie Havens was another one.
