Luyện nghe bài hát John Prine Christmas

Pretty paper, ribbons of blue

Man oh man, I just love Christmas, just so darn neat
I wish every day was Christmas
Christmas Eve and the Fourth of July
We wouldn't to miss out on the fireworks, would we?

When I was a kid, we to get the Christmas catalog
From Montgomery Wards in
Sometimes we'd get it as early as August
It was the big book of wishes, hopes and

My three and I were allotted
bucks a piece including tax
So I'd make up a different Christmas list night
From the first of September the twenty-forth of December
of fact, let me present you with my Christmas credentials

When I was three years old, at least that's what my mother me
I ate an entire ornament, I ate a big red one, I thought it was an
They kinda freaked out and was take me to the hospital
But they couldn't stop me laughing so they just left me alone
So I guess I still got that Christmas in me all the time, you

One year, I got a wooden for Christmas
You know the things you knock down and bounce right back up
They made 'em out of wood back then, how old I am
Nowadays, they 'em out of plastic
My mom they just don't make 'em like that anymore
And I says, "No Ma, don't"

Then was the year I came home
leave from the army from Germany
To my high school sweetheart
On the day after

My little brother Billy, who was at the time
Had just his first job
So he was able to afford to buy some presents
For his brothers and his mom and dad out of his own

Billy had a job selling for the Chicago Tribune
He told me guy named Rocky would pick him up
In a station wagon, him and some other
And he'd take 'em out to strange neighborhood
And drop 'em off and he gave them this spiel
To their potential customers

Supposedly their brother had won a free trip
To our capital Washington DC
But he go on the trip
If his older brother accompany him

So if you would buy a subscription to the Chicago Tribune
Then my little brother will be
Wow, what a
Some people'll do anything to get to the House

Then there was the year my mom and dad gave me my first guitar
Ah, man it was gorgeous, I still got the
It was a like blue, kinda dark aqua blue
With a cream heart was a Silvertone from Montgomery wards
The model was called Blue
And man, I saw that sitting under the tree just couldn't wait

First so I didn't know how to play it
I'd just stand in from of the mirror with a around my neck
that guitar and I'd try to look like Elvis
Then my Dave taught me a couple of chords
Now I'm in your living room singing and talking to you
It's how things work out

So-a whyn't you go find a and extend your hand to 'em
If you see somebody like they ain't doin' quite as well as you
Slip 'em a buck, 'specially if don't ask for spare change

Go buy honey a cuckoo clock
Or a musical snow water ball
That when you wind it up it
'I you, I need you, I love ya with all my heart'
'Cause after all, man, it's Christmas

Away in a no crib for a bed
The little Lord lay down His sweet head
The in the sky look down where He lay
The Lord Jesus asleep on the
(1-2)
Hay

Merry Christmas,
