Luyện nghe bài hát John Prine Christmas

Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of

Man oh man, I just love Christmas, it's so darn neat
I kinda every day was Christmas
Except Christmas Eve and the of July
We wouldn't want to out on the fireworks, would we?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Supposedly their little brother had won a free
To our capital Washington DC
But he couldn't go on the
If his older brother wouldn't him

So if you would please buy a subscription to the Tribune
Then my little brother will be
Wow, a shyster
Some people'll do to get to the White 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 aqua blue, kinda aqua blue
With a cream heart was a Silvertone from Montgomery wards
The was called Kentucky Blue
And man, I saw that sitting under the tree just couldn't wait

First year so I didn't know how to it
I'd just stand in from of the mirror with a around my neck
With that and I'd try to look like Elvis
Then my brother Dave taught me a couple of
Now I'm here in living 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 like they ain't doin' as well as you
Slip 'em a buck, 'specially if they don't ask for spare

Go buy your honey a clock
Or a snow shaking water ball
That when you it up it plays
'I want you, I need you, I love ya with all my
'Cause after all, man, it's Christmas

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

Christmas, everybody
