Luyện nghe bài hát John Prine Christmas

Pretty paper, pretty of blue

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

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

My three brothers and I were
bucks a piece including tax
So I'd make up a different Christmas list every
From the first of September 'til the of December
Matter of fact, let me present you with my 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
They freaked out and was gonna take me to the hospital
But they couldn't stop me from 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 roly-poly for
You know the things you knock down and bounce right back up
They made 'em out of back then, that's how old I am
Nowadays, they 'em out of plastic
My mom says they don't make 'em like that anymore
And I says, "No Ma, don't"

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

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 and his mom and dad out of his own pocket

Billy had a job selling subscriptions for the 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 some neighborhood
And drop 'em off and he them this whole spiel
To give potential customers

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

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

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 aqua blue, kinda dark aqua blue
With a cream colored heart was a from Montgomery wards
The was called Kentucky Blue
And man, when I saw that sitting under the tree just wait

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

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

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

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

Merry Christmas,
