Luyện nghe bài hát Christmas As I Knew It

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

I hope you expect a lot of Christmas presents
Just be thankful there is plenty to eat
That'll make a little more pleasant
And us kids got to thinking how really blessed we
At least we were all healthy and of all we had her

Roy cut down a oak tree and we drug it home Jack and me
killed a squirrel and Louise made the bread
Reba decorated the with popcorn strings before we went to bed
Mama and daddy sacrificed because this Christmas was of lean
After all there was the Tom and Joanne
And need 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
Mama the girl's dresses out of flower sacks
And when she them down
You couldn't tell that they hadn't from town

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

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

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

Christmas came and Christmas
that year was heaven sent
And my put on his rubber boots
And paced the floor for the thaw
