Luyện nghe bài hát John Prine Christmas

Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of

Man oh man, I just Christmas, it's just so darn neat
I wish every day was Christmas
Christmas Eve and the Fourth of July
We want to miss out on the fireworks, would we?

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

My three brothers and I were
Twenty-five a piece including tax
So I'd up a different Christmas list every night
From the first of September 'til the twenty-forth of
of fact, let me present you with my Christmas credentials

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

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

there was the year I came home
Only leave from the army from
To marry my high school
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 and his mom and dad out of his own pocket

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

Supposedly little brother had won a free trip
To our nation's capital 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 be happy
Wow, a shyster
Some people'll do anything to get to the House

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

First so I didn't know how to play it
I'd just in from of the mirror with a string 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 here in your room singing and talking to you
It's how things work out

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

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

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

Merry Christmas,
