Mary's Boy Child
Sung by Harry Belafonte 1956

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
Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen what they say
That Man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day

While shepherds watched their flocks by night
They see a bright new shining star
They hear a choir of angels sing
Music seems to come from a far.

Now, Joseph and his wife, Mary
Come to Bethlehem that night
They find no place to borne the child
Not a single room was in sight

[Refrain]

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

[Refrain]
