Mary’s boy child

Long time ago in Bethlehem
so de holy bible say
Mary’s boy child Jesus Christ
he born on Christ-a-mas day.
Refr.
Listen, hear the angels sing
a new King born today,
and man will live for evermore
because of Christ-a-mas day

When shepherds watched their flocks by night
dem see a bright new shining star
and den dem hear a choir sing
de music seemed to come from far
Refr.

When Joseph and his wife Mary
came to Bethlehem dat night
dem find no place for to born the child
not a single room was in sight.
Refr.

Den bye and bye dem find a little nook,
in a stable all forlorn,
and in a manger cold and dark
Mary’s little boy was born.
Refr.
