Description: Here is my instrumental version of The Roy Orbison version of Pretty Paper. A beautiful Christmas song about a man on the streets selling Christmas ribbons and paper. I hope you like it. Dave Backing track found here...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83yOl5Q9DGw My channel ... youtube.com/OldGuitarMonkey My Website ... davidmonk.me.uk My Facebook page ... facebook.com/david.monk.79 The Song Pretty Paper is the first Christmas album and twenty-fourth studio album by country singer Willie Nelson. His first Christmas album, it was also his last release of the 1970s. Nelson reunited with producer/arranger Booker T. Jones, with whom he had collaborated on the acclaimed Stardust album released the year before. The self-composed title track had been a hit Christmas song in 1963, when it was recorded by Roy Orbison. Nelson had previously recorded the song in 1964. Lyrics Oh Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue Wrap your presents to your darling from you Pretty pencils to write I love you Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue Crowded streets, busy feet, hustle by him Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh There he sits, all alone on the sidewalk Hoping that you won't pass him by Should you stop? Better not, much too busy You in a hurry, my, how time does fly In the distance, the ringing of laughter And in the midst of the laughter, he cries Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue Wrap your presents to your darling from you Pretty pencils to write I love you Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
