Mary was the first of three |
|
Long black hair and sugar sweet |
|
Daddy's eyes and |
|
Momma's crooked smile |
|
She was barely seventeen |
|
Got a job keepin' dishes clean |
|
Planned to stay in this city for a while |
|
For a while |
|
Joseph ran a lumber yard |
|
About a mile from |
|
Olive park |
|
Quiet boy, he never had much to say |
|
It was love right from the start |
|
He bought a ring and won |
|
Mary's heart |
|
Had hopes for a home and kids someday |
|
Kids someday |
|
The angel scared her half to death |
|
She would've screamed but she lost her breath |
|
On a midnight there in the middle of |
|
MayHe said "Oh Mary, don't be afraidYou'll bear a son that the Lord has madeName him Jesus, He'll light the way" |
|
She packed the clothes, he made the plans |
|
They had to go to |
|
BethlehemBut there was nowhere left to stay |
|
So in a barn she gave birth |
|
To the King of |
|
Kings, the |
|
Lord of Earth |
|
Just a little bitty thing sleeping on the hay |
|
Sleeping on the hay |
|
The story's too long to tell |
|
But He walked on water and lived through hell |
|
Killed on a cross and rose from the grave |
|
We got a King, they got a |
|
SonMary and |
|
Joseph were the only ones |
|
There on that very first |
|
Christmas day |
|
There on that very first |
|
Christmas day |
