Luyện nghe bài hát Christmas As I Knew It

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

I hope you won't a lot of Christmas presents
Just be thankful that is plenty to eat
make things a little more pleasant
And us got to thinking how really blessed we were
At least we were all and most of all we had her

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

I whittled a for my brother Jack
And we disagreed now and then
I gave Jack that whistle he knew I thought the world of him
Mama made the girl's dresses out of flower
And she ironed them down
You couldn't tell that they hadn't from town

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

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

We started home me and Jack
And about halfway we looked back
And in the sharecropper's window at was a light
So for one of the neighbors and for us it was a good Christmas

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