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

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

My three brothers and I were
Twenty-five bucks a including tax
So I'd make up a different Christmas list night
From the of September 'til 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 kinda freaked out and was gonna take me to the
But they couldn't stop me from laughing so they left me alone
So I guess I still got that Christmas in me all the time, you

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

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

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

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

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

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

Then there was the year that my mom and dad gave me my first
Ah, man it was gorgeous, I still got the
It was a like blue, kinda dark aqua blue
With a cream colored heart was a Silvertone from wards
The model was called Kentucky
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 mirror 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 room 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 somebody looks they ain't doin' quite as well as you
Slip 'em a buck, 'specially if they don't ask for change

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

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

Christmas, everybody
