Mary’s Little Boy Chile
[Chorus]
(My, my, my, Mary's boy chile, Jesus Christ)
(Was born on Christmas Day)
My, my, my, my (Mary's boy chile, Jesus Christ)
(Was born on Christmas Day)

[Verse 1]
Long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible say
Mary's boy chile, Jesus Christ
He born on Christmas Day

[Chorus]
(My, my, my, Mary's boy chile, Jesus Christ)
(Was born on Christmas Day)
My, my, my, my (Mary's boy chile, Jesus Christ)
(Was born on Christmas Day)

[Verse 2]
While shepherds watch their flock by night
Them see a bright new shinin' star
And then they hear a choir sing
The music seem to come from afar

[Verse 3]
(My, my, my) Well, Joseph and he wife, Mary
Came to Bethlehem that night
Them find no place for the born to chile
Not a single room was in sight
[Chorus]
(My, my, my, Mary's boy chile, Jesus Christ)
(Was born on Christmas Day)
My, my, my, my (Mary's boy chile, Jesus Christ)
(Was born on Christmas Day)

[Verse 4]
But by and by, them find a little nook
In a stable all forlorn
And in a manger cold and dark
Mary's little Boy was born

[Verse 5]
(My, my, my) The three wise men tell old King Herod
We have a new king born today
We bring Him frankincense and myrrh
We come from far away

[Chorus]
(My, my, my, Mary's boy chile, Jesus Christ)
(Was born on Christmas Day)
My, my, my, my (Mary's boy chile, Jesus Christ)
(Was born on Christmas Day)

[Verse 6]
Now, when King Herod him learn this news
Him mad as him can be
He tell the wise men "Find this Child
So that I may worship He"
[Verse 7]
(My, my, my) Long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible say
Mary's boy chile, Jesus Christ
He born on Christmas Day

[Chorus]
(My, my, my, Mary's boy chile, Jesus Christ)
(Was born on Christmas Day)
My, my, my, my (Mary's boy chile, Jesus Christ)
(Was born on Christmas Day)

[Outro]
(My, my, my, Mary's boy chile, Jesus Christ)
(Was born on Christmas Day)
My, my, my (Joy 'round the world
He born on Christmas Day)
