Luyện nghe bài hát Christmas As I Knew It

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

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

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

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

A sharecropper family across the road have it as good as us
They even have a light and it was way past dusk
And mama said, "Well I bet they even have coal oil
Let alone apples and and such"

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

We started back home me and
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 Christmas night

Christmas and Christmas went
that year was heaven sent
And my daddy put on his boots
And paced the floor waiting for the
Back home in Arkansas
