Luyện nghe bài hát John Prine Christmas

Pretty paper, ribbons of blue

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

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

My three and I were allotted
Twenty-five a piece including tax
So I'd make up a different Christmas list every
From the of September 'til the twenty-forth of December
Matter of fact, let me present you with my 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 from laughing so they just left me
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 down and they bounce right back up
made '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 'em like that anymore
And I says, "No Ma, don't"

Then there was the I came home
Only leave from the army from
To marry my high school
On the day Christmas

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

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

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

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

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

First year so I know how to play it
I'd just stand in from of the mirror with a string my neck
With guitar and I'd try to look like Elvis
Then my Dave taught me a couple of chords
Now I'm here in your living room and talking to you
funny how things work out

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

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

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

Merry Christmas,
