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

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

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

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

He was a parson[00:00:12]

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

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

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

For our christmas dinner[00:00:24]

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

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

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

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

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

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

For our christmas dinner[00:00:46]

A little while later[00:00:51]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

For our christmas dinner[00:01:16]

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

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

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

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

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

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

For our christmas dinner[00:01:34]

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

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

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

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

Yes sir[00:01:47]

You be there now[00:01:48]

So next sunday[00:01:50]

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

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

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

Now listen here everybody[00:01:57]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Everybody just laughed[00:02:20]

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

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

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

Telling everyone around[00:02:28]

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

Gee you know[00:02:35]

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