Текст песни Mary's Boy Child (Remastered) - Harry Belafonte

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 singing a new king born today
And man will live forevermore because of Christmas day
Trumpets sound and angels singing, listen what they say
That man will live forevermore because of Christmas day

While shepherds watch their flock by night then see
A bright new shining star, then hear a choir sing, her music
Seemed to come from afar
Now, Joseph and his wife Mary
Come to Bethlehem that night
Then find no place to born she child, not a single room was in sight

Hark, now hear the angels singing a new king born today
And man will live forevermore because of Christmas day
Trumpets sound and Angels singing listen what they say
That man will live forevermore 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
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 singing a new king born today
And man will live forevermore because of Christmas day
Trumpets sound and angels singing, listen what they say
That man will live forevermore because of Christmas day
