If you have no sense of humour, don't listen, don't even think about clicking on it.

The Christmas part starts at about 3:05 but to get the context you have to hear it all.

YouTube - John Prine - Christmas in Prison

Ahh, yes - a John Prine classic. I forgot about that one when I put my Christmas playlist together. I wonder if the old folks would notice it? And the young kids probably never heard it before.


"It's Christmas in prison, and the food's real good..."

I just love his dry understatement, he's got some great ones.

"It was Christmas in prison and the food was real good
We had turkey and pistols carved out of wood..."

Definite Prine fan here. I play several of his tunes on acoustic, including Dear Abby, Please Don't Bury Me, Illegal Smile, Grandpa Was A Carpenter, Souvenirs...

I met Allah and Buddah
They were singing at the savior's feast
While up in the sky
An Arabian rabbi
Fed Quaker Oats to a priest

Pretty good, not bad, I can't complain
But actually everything is just about the same...

Or how about...

Father forgive us for what me must do
You forgive us, we'll forgive you
We'll forgive each other 'til we both turn blue
Then we'll whistle and go fishin' in heaven.
