Народные и застольные песни — Mary’s Boy Child

A                             D               A A  
Long time ago in Bethlehem so the Holy Bible says 
                            D                     A   E A  
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day 
 
                D            E        A        D     E        
Hark now hear the angels sing a new King's born to-day 
 A                                 D             A    E A  
And man will live for evermore because of Christmas Day 
                D               E       A         D E  
Trumpets sound and angels sing listen what they say 
 A                                 D             A     E A  
That man will live for evermore because of Christmas Day 
 
 A                                           
While Shepherds watched their flock by night 
     D                 E A  
they see a bright new star 
                                 D                           A E A  
Then hear a choir of angels sing music seems to come from a far 
                                 D                     E A 
Now Joseph and his wife Mary come to Bethlehem that night 
                                   D                  
They find no place to lay the child not a single room 
         A  E A  
was in sight

 A                             D                         E  A  
By and by they find a little nook in a stable so for-lorn  
                                 D                    A     E A  
In a manger there so cold and dark Mary's little Boy was born
