Luyện nghe bài hát John Prine Christmas

Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of

Man oh man, I just Christmas, it's just so darn neat
I kinda wish every day was
Except Christmas Eve and the Fourth of
We want to miss out on the fireworks, would we?

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

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 the twenty-forth of December
Matter of fact, let me you with my Christmas 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 it was an apple
They freaked out and was gonna take me to the hospital
But they couldn't stop me from laughing so 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 'em out of plastic
My mom says they don't make 'em like that anymore
And I says, "No Ma, don't"

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

My little brother Billy, who was twelve at the
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 some neighborhood
And drop 'em off and he them this whole spiel
To their potential customers

Supposedly their little brother had won a free
To our nation's capital 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
Then my little brother be happy
Wow, what a
people'll do anything to get to the White House

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

First so I didn't know how to play it
I'd just stand in from of the with a string around my neck
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 singing and talking to you
funny how things work out

So-a whyn't you go find a and extend your hand to 'em
If you see somebody looks like they ain't doin' quite as as you
'em a buck, 'specially if they 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 love ya with all my
after all, hell man, it's Christmas

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

Merry Christmas,
