Luyện nghe bài hát John Prine Christmas

Pretty paper, ribbons of blue

Man oh man, I love Christmas, it's just so darn neat
I kinda every day was Christmas
Except 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
Montgomery Wards in Chicago
Sometimes we'd get it as as late August
It was the big book of wishes, and desires

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

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 it was an apple
kinda freaked out and was gonna take me to the hospital
But they couldn't stop me from laughing so they just left me
So I I still got that Christmas in me all the time, you know?

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

Then there was the year I came
Only leave from the from Germany
To marry my school sweetheart
On the day Christmas

My little brother Billy, who was 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

had a job selling subscriptions for the Chicago Tribune
He told me this guy 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 this whole spiel
To their potential customers

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

So if you would please buy a 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 heart was a from Montgomery wards
The model was Kentucky Blue
And man, when I saw that sitting under the tree just couldn't

year so I didn't know how to play it
I'd just stand in from of the mirror with a string my neck
With that 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
It's how things work out

whyn't you go find a stranger 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 they don't ask for spare

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

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

Christmas, everybody
