Luyện nghe bài hát John Prine Christmas

Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of

Man oh man, I just love Christmas, just so darn neat
I kinda 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 Christmas
From Montgomery Wards in
Sometimes we'd get it as as late August
It was the big book of wishes, hopes and

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

When I was three years old, at least 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 from so they just left me alone
So I guess I got that Christmas in me all the time, you know?

One year, I got a roly-poly for Christmas
You know the things you knock down and 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"

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

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

Billy had a job selling subscriptions for the Tribune
He told me this guy named Rocky 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 this spiel
To give potential customers

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

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

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 cream colored heart was a Silvertone from wards
The was called Kentucky Blue
And man, when I saw that under the tree just couldn't wait

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

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

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

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

Christmas, everybody
