《Parson Brown (Our Christmas Dinner)》歌词

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

[00:00:09] There was a man in our town

[00:00:12] He was a man of great renown

[00:00:14] And his name was william brown

[00:00:17] He was a parson

[00:00:21] Christmas week was drawing near

[00:00:23] Father and mother were very poor

[00:00:25] Had no pudding nor meat in store

[00:00:28] For our christmas dinner

[00:00:33] I heard pa telling ma

[00:00:34] That we weren't gonna have a christmas this year

[00:00:35] 'Cause we was too poor

[00:00:37] That made me feel kind of sad

[00:00:39] So I went out of the house singing

[00:00:41] Merry christmas we can't keep

[00:00:44] Got no shoes upon my feet

[00:00:47] And we have no pudding and meat

[00:00:51] For our christmas dinner

[00:00:55] A little while later

[00:00:57] I went back into the house

[00:00:58] And I heard ma talking to pa

[00:00:59] Henry where'd you get that sheep

[00:01:02] Why isn't that the parson's big black sheep

[00:01:05] Henry you didn't but he sure did

[00:01:09] And now that things were looking up a little bit

[00:01:11] I went out of the house singing

[00:01:12] As loud as I could

[00:01:13] Merry christmas we shall keep

[00:01:16] Now we've got some pudding and meat

[00:01:18] Father stole the parson's sheep

[00:01:20] For our christmas dinner

[00:01:23] Little boy come over here

[00:01:26] Would you mind singing that for me again

[00:01:28] Sure parson be glad to

[00:01:30] Merry christmas we shall keep

[00:01:33] Now we've got some pudding and meat

[00:01:35] Father stole the parson's sheep

[00:01:39] For our christmas dinner

[00:01:41] Well now I sure like the way you sing that

[00:01:45] Listen if I give you a shiny new pocket watch

[00:01:47] And half a crown

[00:01:48] Would you come down to my church next sabbath

[00:01:50] And sing for the whole congregation

[00:01:52] Yes sir

[00:01:53] You be there now

[00:01:54] So next sunday

[00:01:55] With my shiny new pocket watch in one hand

[00:01:57] And the half crown in the other

[00:01:59] I walked down the aisle and the parson he says

[00:02:02] Now listen here everybody

[00:02:04] I want you to listen to the song

[00:02:06] This little boy sings

[00:02:07] 'Cause every word
