Harry Belafonte
Mary’s Boy Child
[Verse 1]
Long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible say
Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas day
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
While shepherds watched their flock by night
Them see a bright new shining star
Then hear a choir sing
The music seemed to come from afar
Now Joseph and his wife Mary
Come to Bethlehem that night
Then find no place to borne she child
Not a single room was in sight
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
Long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible say
Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas day
[Chorus]
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
