Luyện nghe bài hát Christmas As I Knew It

One day near when 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
not a lot of spending money and well at least we're all here

I hope you won't a lot of Christmas presents
Just be thankful there is plenty to eat
