Luyện nghe bài hát John Prine Christmas

Pretty paper, pretty of blue

Man oh man, I just love Christmas, it's so darn neat
I kinda wish every day was
Except Christmas Eve and the 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 early as August
It was the big book of wishes, and desires

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

When I was years 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 kinda freaked out and was gonna take me to the
But they couldn't stop me from laughing so they just me alone
So I I still 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 they right back up
They made 'em out of wood then, that's how old I am
Nowadays, they 'em out of plastic
My mom says just don't make 'em like that anymore
And I says, "No Ma, don't"

Then was the year I came home
Only leave from the army Germany
To marry my high school
On the day after

My little brother Billy, who was 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

Billy had a job selling subscriptions for the Chicago
He told me this guy named would pick 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 potential customers

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

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

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

year so I didn't know how to play it
I'd just stand in from of the with a string around my neck
With guitar and I'd try to look like Elvis
my brother Dave taught me a couple of chords
Now I'm here in living room singing and talking to you
It's how things work out

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

Go buy your honey a clock
Or a musical snow water ball
That you wind it up it plays
'I want you, I need you, I ya with all my heart'
'Cause all, hell man, it's Christmas

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

Merry Christmas,
