Luyện nghe bài hát Christmas As I Knew It

One day near Christmas when I was just a
Mama us together and mama tried to smile
She said you know the cotton crop hadn't been too this year
not a lot of spending money and well at least we're all here

I hope you won't expect a lot of Christmas
Just be thankful that there is to eat
That'll things a little more pleasant
And us kids got to thinking how blessed we were
At we were all healthy and most of all we had her

Roy cut down a pine oak and we drug it home Jack and me
killed a squirrel and Louise made the bread
Reba decorated the tree with popcorn strings we went to bed
Mama and sacrificed because this Christmas was kind of lean
After all there was the babies Tom and
And need a few things

I a whistle for my brother Jack
And though we disagreed now and
When I gave Jack that he knew I thought the world of him
Mama made the girl's out of flower sacks
And when she ironed them
You couldn't tell that they come from town

A sharecropper family across the didn't have it as good as us
They didn't have a light and it was way past dusk
And said, "Well I bet they don't even have coal oil
Let alone apples and and such"

Me and Jack took a jar of coal oil nd some hickernuts we'd
We walked to the sharecropper's and set 'em down
A poor old ragged lady eased open the
She picked up the oil and hickernuts and said
"I do thank you" and quickly closed the door

We back home me and Jack
And about we stopped looked back
And in the window at last was a light
So for one of the and for us it was a good Christmas night

Christmas came and went
Christmas that year was heaven
And my put on his rubber boots
And paced the waiting for the thaw
Back home in Arkansas
