Three Little Pennies লিরিক্স

there was an old, blind man who stood on the corner down town he was holding a cup filled up with nothing from the christmas shopping crowd and though i barely came up to the top of his cane i reached up and gave him every cent to my name. (chorus): three little pennies. were all that i had one that i'd found two from my dad three little pennies not much of a gift but Dad said "that's plenty, if it's all you can give." that evening my dad told a wonderful story to me about 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 up about a stable boy who couldn't give much.. (chorus) three little pennies. were all that he had one that he'd found two from his dad three little pennies not much of a gift but Dad said "that's plenty if it's all you can give." next morning was christmas and i had prayed hard for a bike but all that i found was the tiniest box with three shiny pennies inside and i was so disapointed because i had been good but times had been bad so i understood. and daddy said: "three little pennies. were all that you had but you gave them freely so i gave them back three little pennies not much of a gift you'r bike is outside because you've learned how to give"
