"Mary's Boy Child" by Harry Belafonte

Long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible say
Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas day

Hark, now hear the angels sing
A new king born today
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day

While shepherds watched
Their flock by night
Them see a bright new shining star
Then hear a choir sing
The music seemed to come from afar

Now, Joseph and his wife, Mary
Come to Bethlehem that night
Them find no place to born she child
Not a single room was in sight

Hark, now hear the angels sing
A new king born today
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day

By and by, them find a little nook
In a stable all forlorn
And in a manger, cold and dark
Mary's little boy was born

Hark, now hear the angels sing
A new king born today
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day
