Luyện nghe bài hát John Prine Christmas

Pretty paper, ribbons of blue

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

When I was a kid, we used to get the Christmas
Montgomery Wards in Chicago
Sometimes we'd get it as as late August
It was the big book of wishes, and desires

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

When I was three years old, at least that's my mother told me
I ate an entire ornament, I ate a big red one, I it was an apple
They kinda freaked out and was take me to the hospital
But they couldn't stop me from laughing so they just me alone
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 you knock down and they bounce right back up
They made 'em out of wood back then, how old I am
Nowadays, make 'em out of plastic
My mom says they just don't make 'em like that
And I says, "No Ma, don't"

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

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

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

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

So if you would please buy a to the Chicago Tribune
Then my brother will be happy
Wow, a shyster
Some people'll do to get to the White House

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

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

So-a whyn't you go find a stranger and your hand to 'em
If you see somebody looks like they 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 you wind it up it plays
'I want you, I need you, I love ya with all my
'Cause after all, hell man, Christmas

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

Christmas, everybody
