Little River Band - Mary's Boy Child

Long time ago, in Bethlehem,
so the Holy Bible say,
Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ,
was born on Christmas day.

Heart, now hear the angels sing,
a new king born today,
and man will live forever more,
because of Christmas day.

While Shepard's watch the flocks by night,
they see a bright new shining star,
and hear a choir sing,
the music came from afar.

Now Joseph and his wife Mary,
they come to Bethlehem that night,
but find no place to born the child,
not a single room was in sight.

Trumpet sound and angel sing,
listen to what they say,
that man will live forever more,
because of Christmas day.

By and by they find a little hut,
in a stable so for long,
and in a danger cold and dark,
Mary's little boy was born.

Heart, now hear the angels sing,
listen to what they say,
and man will live forever more,
because of Christmas day,
trumpet sound and angels sing,
a new king born today,
and man will live forever more,
because of Christmas day.

Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ,
was born on Christmas day ...
