《Parson Brown (Our Christmas Dinner)》歌词

[00:00:00] Parson Brown (Our Christmas Dinner) - The New Christy Minstrels

[00:00:05] There was a man in our town

[00:00:07] He was a man of great renown

[00:00:10] And his name was william brown

[00:00:12] He was a parson

[00:00:16] Christmas week was drawing near

[00:00:19] Father and mother were very poor

[00:00:21] Had no pudding nor meat in store

[00:00:24] For our christmas dinner

[00:00:28] I heard pa telling ma

[00:00:29] That we weren't gonna have a christmas this year 'cause we was too poor

[00:00:33] That made me feel kind of sad so I went out of the house singing

[00:00:37] Merry christmas we can't keep

[00:00:40] Got no shoes upon my feet

[00:00:42] And we have no pudding and meat

[00:00:46] For our christmas dinner

[00:00:51] A little while later

[00:00:52] I went back into the house and I heard ma talking to pa

[00:00:55] Henry where'd you get that sheep

[00:00:58] Why isn't that the parson's big black sheep

[00:01:01] Henry you didn't but he sure did

[00:01:04] And now that things were looking up a little bit

[00:01:06] I went out of the house singing as loud as I could

[00:01:09] Merry christmas we shall keep

[00:01:11] Now we've got some pudding and meat

[00:01:13] Father stole the parson's sheep

[00:01:16] For our christmas dinner

[00:01:19] Little boy come over here

[00:01:22] Would you mind singing that for me again

[00:01:24] Sure parson be glad to

[00:01:26] Merry christmas we shall keep

[00:01:28] Now we've got some pudding and meat

[00:01:30] Father stole the parson's sheep

[00:01:34] For our christmas dinner

[00:01:37] Well now I sure like the way you sing that

[00:01:40] Listen if I give you a shiny new pocket watch and half a crown

[00:01:44] Would you come down to my church next sabbath

[00:01:45] And sing for the whole congregation

[00:01:47] Yes sir

[00:01:48] You be there now

[00:01:50] So next sunday

[00:01:51] With my shiny new pocket watch in one hand

[00:01:53] And the half crown in the other

[00:01:55] I walked down the aisle and the parson he says

[00:01:57] Now listen here everybody

[00:02:00] I want you to listen to the song this little boy sings

[00:02:03] 'Cause every word is the gospel truth

[00:02:05] And I takes a big breath and I begins to sing

[00:02:10] As I was walking out one day

[00:02:12] I met the parson dressed so gay

[00:02:14] He and miss molly was makin' hay

[00:02:16] Stepped right up and kissed her

[00:02:17] Well that's a lie no that's a lie

[00:02:20] Everybody just laughed

[00:02:21] So I went runnin' back up the aisle singing

[00:02:24] How I cheated parson brown

[00:02:26] Out of a watch and half a crown

[00:02:28] Telling everyone around

[00:02:31] How he kissed miss molly

[00:02:35] Gee you know

[00:02:35] It sure was a swell christmas dinner that year
