Luyện nghe bài hát John Prine Christmas

Pretty paper, pretty of blue

Man oh man, I just Christmas, it's just so darn neat
I kinda every day was Christmas
Except Christmas Eve and the Fourth of
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 get it as early as late August
It was the big book of wishes, and desires

My three brothers and I allotted
Twenty-five bucks a including tax
So I'd up a different Christmas list every night
From the first of September 'til the 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 ornament, I ate a big red one, I thought it was an apple
They kinda freaked out and was gonna take me to the
But couldn't stop me from laughing so they just left me alone
So I guess I got that Christmas in me all the time, you know?

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 make 'em out of
My mom says they just don't make 'em like that
And I says, "No Ma, don't"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

So-a 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 don't ask for spare change

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

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

Christmas, everybody
