The Borning Day - Harry Belafonte

Mary and the baby hungry

Yes, we know what hungry be

So we bring them peas and rice

And a little ginger tea

Only pigeon peas and rice

A little ginger tea

Mary thank us with her eyes

She poor the same as we

She poor the same as we

Mary and the baby lonely

Lonely is not good to be

So we sit awhile and chat awhile

To keep them company

Stay awhile makes the baby smile

Pass the time of day

When we see how pleased they be

It make us glad we stay

So glad that we could stay

Mary and the baby weary

Oh, we know what weary be

So we make a bed and pillow for their head

With down from the muhow tree

Only down from the muhow tree

To rest them soft and good

We feel bad this was all we had

We do the best we could

We do the best we could

Mary and the baby rest easy

We go away and let them be

On hush tip toe and voice kept low

We look up and see

Stars of hope shine in the sky

To mark the baby's birth

Seemed to say it's borning day

Of better times on earth

Of better times on earth
