Harry Belafonte - Mary's Boy Child

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.
