Luyện nghe bài hát John Prine Christmas

Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of

Man oh man, I just Christmas, it's just so darn neat
I kinda wish every day was
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
From Wards in Chicago
Sometimes we'd get it as early as late
It was the big of wishes, hopes and desires

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

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 thought it was an
They freaked out and was gonna take me to the hospital
But they couldn't stop me from so they just left 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 things you knock down and they bounce back up
made 'em out of wood back then, that's how old I am
Nowadays, they make 'em out of
My mom says they just don't 'em like that anymore
And I says, "No Ma, don't"

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

My brother Billy, who was twelve at the time
Had gotten his first job
So he was able to afford to buy some presents
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 Rocky would pick him up
In a wagon, him and some other boys
And he'd take 'em out to some neighborhood
And drop 'em off and he gave this whole spiel
To give potential customers

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

So if you would please buy a subscription to the Chicago
Then my little brother 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 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 that sitting the tree just couldn't wait

First year so I didn't know how to it
I'd just stand in of the mirror with a string around my neck
With that guitar and I'd try to look like
Then my brother taught me a couple of chords
Now I'm here in your 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 ain't doin' as well as you
'em a buck, 'specially if they don't ask for spare change

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

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

Christmas, everybody
