Mary's Little Boy Child Songtext
von Mahalia Jackson

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 for evermore
Because of Christmas Day
Shepherd watch their fock by night
They see a bright (new) shining star
They hear a choir sing
The musicseemed to come from afar
Now Joseph and his wife, Mary
Come to Bethlehem that night
They found no place to born the child
Not a single room in sight

Hark, now hear the angels sing
A new king born today
And man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas Day
