Willie Nelson -Pretty Paper

PRETTY PAPER

(Willie Nelson)

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

Better hurry my how time does fly

And in the distance the ringing of laughter

And in the midst of the laughter he cries

Pretty paper pretty ribbons of blue...

Oh oh pretty paper pretty ribbons of blue

Love the original. Used to listen to this one with my Papa when I was a kid. He had it on an old cassette mixed tape, I think. It had this, Funny How Time Slips Away; Hello, Walls; Good Times; Phases and Stages; a song with a line like, "footsteps match my heartbeat, funny heartbeats on lenolium"............... I've been looking all over for it, but I'm afraid it was a one if a kind compilation my Papa made from multiple Willie Nelson tapes..... I wish I could remember every song, because now that he's (my papa) has passed away, I'd give anything to hear that tape again...

This is a different version by Willie than I have heard before and I like it better. Wille did write the song and Roy Orbison took it and made a hit out of it. Willie re wrote the song in 1979 for an album but that was not as good a versiion as this one. or the one's Oribion did. One thing to remember is that when you think Willie Nelson and Roy Orbison you are thinking of two of the very best with a song like this. Personally, I like Roy's better but that is only my personal feelings. .

This is my favorite Willie version of the song. My wife grew up in Fort Worth and remembers the man as well as a lady ( wife? ) who was there and sang with a guitar on the downtown streets of Fort Worth.

Thank you for posting Willie's original version, and not his later remake. When he rerecorded it, it lost some of the poignancy in favor of a too slick sound.

@FantasticlifeinJesus Near the beginning of the song, the lyric is "christmas is nigh", nigh being an old word for "near".

The song was written by Willie, about Frankie Bierton, of Santo Texas. Frankie, would crawl around like he learned growing up when he suffered a spinal disorder. He hardly ever used a wheel chair. Frankie, sold pencils and ribbons during the holidays in DFW to passersby. He passed away in 1973 at the age of 74.
