Mary's Boy Child

Mary's Boy Child - 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 forever more

Because of christmas day

While shepherds watched their flock by night

And see a bright new shining star

And hear a choir sing

The music seem to come from afar

Now joseph and his wife mary

Come to bethlehem that night

And find no place to borne she child

Not a single room was in sight

Hark now hear the angels sing

A new king born today

And man will live forever more

Because of christmas day

By and by they 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 forever more

Because of christmas day
