[00:00.66]the new christy minstrels - Parson Brown(Our Christmas Dinner)
[00:06.01]There was a man in our town
[00:08.18]He was a man of great renown
[00:10.62]And his name was william brown
[00:13.49]He was a parson
[00:17.21]Christmas week was drawing near
[00:19.56]Father and mother were very poor
[00:21.88]Had no pudding nor meat in store
[00:24.85]For our christmas dinner
[00:29.20]I heard pa telling ma
[00:30.28]That we weren't gonna have a christmas this year 'cause we was too poor
[00:33.80]That made me feel kind of sad so I went out of the house singing
[00:37.71]Merry christmas we can't keep
[00:40.65]Got no shoes upon my feet
[00:43.49]And we have no pudding and meat
[00:47.19]For our christmas dinner
[00:52.02]A little while later
[00:53.03]I went back into the house and I heard ma talking to pa
[00:56.02]Henry where'd you get that sheep
[00:58.93]Why isn't that the parson's big black sheep
[01:01.80]Henry you didn't but he sure did
[01:05.40]And now that things were looking up a little bit
[01:07.14]I went out of the house singing as loud as I could
[01:09.94]Merry christmas we shall keep
[01:12.26]Now we've got some pudding and meat
[01:14.41]Father stole the parson's sheep
[01:16.94]For our christmas dinner
[01:19.95]Little boy come over here
[01:22.59]Would you mind singing that for me again
[01:24.80]Sure parson be glad to
[01:26.95]Merry christmas we shall keep
[01:29.32]Now we've got some pudding and meat
[01:31.44]Father stole the parson's sheep
[01:35.30]For our christmas dinner
[01:37.91]Well now I sure like the way you sing that
[01:41.10]Listen if I give you a shiny new pocket watch and half a crown
[01:44.64]Would you come down to my church next sabbath
[01:46.19]And sing for the whole congregation
[01:48.36]Yes sir
[01:49.22]You be there now
[01:50.74]So next sunday
[01:51.82]With my shiny new pocket watch in one hand
[01:54.03]And the half crown in the other
[01:55.94]I walked down the aisle and the parson he says
[01:58.30]Now listen here everybody
[02:00.81]I want you to listen to the song this little boy sings
[02:03.91]'Cause every word is the gospel truth
[02:06.21]And I takes a big breath and I begins to sing
[02:10.77]As I was walking out one day
[02:13.11]I met the parson dressed so gay
[02:15.42]He and miss molly was makin' hay
[02:17.15]Stepped right up and kissed her
[02:18.31]Well that's a lie no that's a lie
[02:21.00]Everybody just laughed
[02:22.48]So I went runnin' back up the aisle singing
[02:24.85]How I cheated parson brown
[02:27.18]Out of a watch and half a crown
[02:29.18]Telling everyone around
[02:31.83]How he kissed miss molly
[02:35.82]Gee you know
[02:36.35]It sure was a swell christmas dinner that year
