Long time ago in Bethlehem
so the Holly Bible say.
Mary’s boy child, Jesus Christ,
he born on Christmas day.
Listen, hear the angles sing
a new King born to day,
and man will live for ever more,
because of Christmas day.
While shepherds watched their flocks by night
them see a bright new shinning star,
and then them hear a choir sing,
de music seemed to come from afar.
Listen, hear …
When Joseph and his wife Mary
came to Bethlehem that night,
them find no place for to she child,
not a single room was in sight.
Listen, hear …
Then Bye and bye them find a little nook
in a stable all forlorn,
and in a manger cold and dark
Mary’s little boy was born.
Listen, hear …
The tree wise men tell old king Herod,
we hear a new king born today,
we bring He frankensense and myrrh,
we come from far away.
Listen, hear …
When old king Herod him learn this news
him mad as him can be.
Him tell the wise men find this child,
so that I may worship He.
Listen, hear …
