Long Time Ago In Bethlehem
So The Holy Bible Says
Mary boy chile, Jesus Christ
He born on Christamas-day
Listen hear de angels sing
A new king born today
And man will live forever more
Because of Christamas-day
While shepherds watched their flocks by night
Dem see a bright new shining star
And den dem hear a choir sing
De music seem to come from afar
Listen hear de angels sing
A new king born today
And man will live forever more
Because of Christamas-day
When Joseph an he wife Mary
Came to Bethlehem dat night
Dem find no place for to born she child
Not a single room was in sight
Listen hear de angels sing
A new king born today
And man will live forever more
Because of Christamas-day
Den bye and bye dem find a little nook
In a stable all forlorn
And in a manger cold and dark
Mary little boy was born
Listen hear de angels sing
A new king born today
And man will live forever more
Because of Christamas-day
