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 wish every day was Christmas
Except Christmas Eve and the Fourth of
We wouldn't want to out on the fireworks, would we?

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

My three brothers and I were
Twenty-five a piece including tax
So I'd make up a different list every night
From the first of 'til the twenty-forth of December
Matter of fact, let me present you my Christmas credentials

When I was three years old, at least that's what my told me
I ate an entire ornament, I ate a big red one, I thought it was an
They kinda freaked out and was take me to the hospital
But they couldn't stop me from laughing so they just left me
So I guess I still got that in me all the time, you know?

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

there was the year I came home
Only leave from the army from
To marry my high sweetheart
On the day Christmas

My little brother Billy, who was twelve at the
Had just gotten his job
So he was able to to buy some Christmas presents
For his brothers and his mom and dad out of his own

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

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

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

there was the year that my mom and dad gave me my first guitar
Ah, man it was gorgeous, I still got the
It was a like blue, kinda dark aqua blue
a cream colored heart was a Silvertone from Montgomery wards
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 with a string around my neck
With that and I'd try to look like Elvis
Then my brother Dave taught me a of chords
Now I'm here in your room singing and talking to you
It's how things work out

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

Go buy your honey a cuckoo
Or a musical snow shaking water
That you wind it up it plays
'I want you, I need you, I love ya all my heart'
'Cause after all, man, it's Christmas

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

Christmas, everybody
