Doug Stone - Three Little Pennies Lyrics
there was an old, blind manwho stood on the corner down townhe was holding a cupfilled up with nothingfrom the christmas shopping crowdand though i barely came up to the top of his canei reached up and gave himevery cent to my name.(chorus):three little pennies.were all that i hadone that i'd foundtwo from my dadthree little pennies not much of a giftbut Dad said "that's plenty, if it's all you can give."that evening my dad told a wonderful story to meabout a child and the manger.the wise men who came bearing gifts on the first christmas eve.there was a part i'm sure he made upabout a stable boy who couldn't give much..(chorus)three little pennies.were all that he hadone that he'd foundtwo from his dadthree little pennies not much of a giftbut Dad said "that's plenty if it's all you can give."next morning was christmasand i had prayed hard for a bikebut all that i found was the tiniest boxwith three shiny pennies insideand i was so disapointed because i had been goodbut times had been bad so i understood.and daddy said:"three little pennies.were all that you hadbut you gave them freelyso i gave them backthree little pennies not much of a giftyou'r bike is outside because you've learned how to give"
