Luyện nghe bài hát Christmas As I Knew It

One day near when I was just a child
called us together and mama tried to smile
She you know the cotton crop hadn't been too good this year
There's not a lot of spending money and well at least we're all

I hope you won't a lot of Christmas presents
Just be that there is plenty to eat
make things a little more pleasant
And us kids got to thinking how really we were
At least we were all and most of all we had her

Roy cut down a oak tree and we drug it home Jack and me
Daddy killed a squirrel and made the bread
Reba decorated the tree with popcorn strings before we to bed
Mama and sacrificed because this Christmas was kind of lean
all there was the babies Tom and Joanne
And need a few things

I whittled a for my brother Jack
And though we disagreed now and
When I gave Jack that he knew I thought the world of him
made the girl's dresses out of flower sacks
And when she ironed them
You couldn't tell that they hadn't come from

A sharecropper family across the road didn't have it as as us
They didn't have a light and it was way past dusk
And mama said, "Well I bet they don't have coal oil
Let alone apples and and such"

Me and took a jar of coal oil nd some hickernuts we'd found
We walked to the sharecropper's porch and set 'em
A old ragged lady eased open the door
She picked up the coal oil and hickernuts and
"I sure do thank you" and closed the door

We started back me and Jack
And about we stopped looked back
And in the sharecropper's at last was a light
So for one of the neighbors and for us it was a good night

Christmas came and Christmas
Christmas that year was heaven
And my put on his rubber boots
And the floor waiting for the thaw
home in Dyess Arkansas
