Luyện nghe bài hát John Prine Christmas

Pretty paper, ribbons of blue

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

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

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

When I was three old, at least that's what my mother told me
I ate an ornament, I ate a big red one, I thought it was an apple
They kinda freaked out and was gonna take me to the
But they couldn't stop me laughing so they just left me alone
So I guess I still got Christmas 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 back then, that's 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 was the year I came home
Only leave from the army Germany
To my high school sweetheart
On the day after

My brother Billy, who was twelve at the time
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

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 neighborhood
And 'em off and he gave them this whole spiel
To give their potential

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

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

Then there was the that my mom and dad gave me my first guitar
Ah, man it was gorgeous, I still got the
It was a like aqua blue, kinda dark blue
With a cream colored heart was a 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 how to play it
I'd just stand in from of the mirror with a string around my
With that guitar and I'd try to like Elvis
Then my brother Dave taught me a couple of
Now I'm in your living room singing and talking to you
funny how things work out

So-a whyn't you go a stranger and extend your hand to 'em
If you see somebody looks like they ain't doin' 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 snow shaking ball
That when you wind it up it
'I you, I need you, I love ya with all my heart'
'Cause after all, hell man, it's

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

Christmas, everybody
