Luyện nghe bài hát John Prine Christmas

Pretty paper, ribbons of blue

Man oh man, I just love Christmas, it's just so darn
I wish every day was Christmas
Except Christmas Eve and the Fourth of
We wouldn't to miss 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 of wishes, hopes and desires

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 'til the twenty-forth of
Matter of fact, let me you with my Christmas credentials

I was three years 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 kinda freaked out and was gonna me to the hospital
But they couldn't stop me from laughing so they left me alone
So I guess I still got that in me all the time, you know?

One year, I got a wooden for Christmas
You know the you knock down and they bounce right back up
They made 'em out of wood 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 there was the year I came
leave from the army from Germany
To my high school 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 Christmas presents
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 named Rocky pick him up
In a station wagon, him and other boys
And he'd take 'em out to some strange
And drop 'em off and he gave them this whole
To give their potential

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

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

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

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

Go buy your a cuckoo clock
Or a snow shaking water ball
That when you wind it up it
'I want you, I you, I love ya with all my heart'
'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 little Lord Jesus on the
(1-2)
Hay

Christmas, everybody
