[wright7990]

I guess 1 person is a fool

[7onySpilotro]

to all our loved ones who couldn't be with us on this special daY merry christmas Hank

[cmgm021193]

It's Christmas, love life, it'll love you back, peace

[prinzonyx1]

beauty

[lovethemack]

nice~



[dawelton]

Brings back memories for me, too...Federal Prison.

[JustAintthatWay]

y'know some prison cells don;t have bars

some things - memories - keep you locked up just the same

christmas could fall every day on the calendar

and it'd never get here

to open presents

or the cell door neither

[fatbee65]

@JustAintthatWay Ain't it the truth, Brother. I live in one. Pray for us all.

[acidheadzzzz]

good tune but it brings back some bad memories.

[walkkdogg]

I love CHRISTMAS. GOD BLESS America.

[cuilwen1]

Chaos brought me here :). Nice but sad song...



[TheJuggalotommy]

[DavidJY1970]

I am a Correctional Officer and I have spent many Christmases at work....it is so surreal after all these years.

[SH1THEAD4000]

[CactassDupree]

[se7enfoot]

no one dislikes this song, as well they shouldn't. if you have even listened to john prine you like it, if you havent listened, then you dont like it yet

[hunterlove3000]

[dawelton]

Reminds me of serving 3 1/2 years in the federal system. 4 :00pm stand up count. If you've been there, you'll know...

[summerease]

so great. Saw mason jennings cover it

[ModGirl1967]

Brings back memories of sitting around w/other pickers singing this song. Yeah...

[alpinorico]

About the prettiest Christmas song and about the most beautiful love song.

[Charr3169]

the absolute best non-carol christmas song. ever. Dad would play this on guitar every christmas season at least twenty times. <3

[johannes179]

Heard him in Gran Ol Opry, Nashville five, six years back. What a grat concert! Im playing him at least once a week after that. Just like I have did with Johnny Cash, since 1964!

[ONTARIOKLANSMAN]

Funny thing about John Prine is that most people hear his songs and it reminds them of growing up. Real music does that... What an artist.....

[lovingjah1056]

@ONTARIOKLANSMAN check out grandpa was a carpenter I met the guy. 2 three times, precious memories of old Central City, Ky . The man is a musicians musician. If that makes any sense.

[234mordecai]

[narrucrelurbed]

[BOOMNERD51]

HIS "heart is as big as this whole Goddamned" WORLD!

[diketed]

Makes the hair on the back of my neck stand straight up!

[deliotk]

One of the greatest songwriters that ever lived.

[FarmaNap]

Yes, just attended the annual John Prine sing-a-long. Glad I could listen to his from the man himself.

[blueskiesblue]

[bulbheadmyass]

I've been on youtube for three years and have been looking for JP's original of this song. Nice that I found it on Xmas day. Thanks for posting it, very much appreciated.
