Mary's Boy Child - Harry Belafonte

Well if I could, I surely would, Stand on the rock where Moses stood, Pharoh's army got drownded, Oh Mary don't you weep. Oh Mary don't you weep no more, Oh Mary don't you weep no more, Pharoh's army got drownded, Oh Mary don't you weep. Well Mary wore three links of chain, On every link was Jesus name, Pharoh's army got drownded, Oh Mary don't you weep. Oh Mary don't you weep no more, Oh Mary don't you weep no more, Pharoh's army got drownded, Oh Mary don't you weep. Well one of these nights about 12 o'clock, This old world is gonna rock, Pharoh's army got drownded, Oh Mary don't you weep. Well Moses stood on the Red Sea shore, Smote the water with a two by four, Pharoh's army got drownded, Oh Mary don't you weep. Oh Mary don't you weep no more, Oh Mary don't you weep no more, Pharoh's army got drownded, Oh Mary don't you weep. Well old Mister Satan he got mad, Missed that soul that he thought he had, Pharoh's army got drownded, Oh Mary don't you weep. Brothers and sisters, don't you cry, There'll be good times by and by, Pharoh's army got drownded, Oh Mary don't you weep. Oh Mary don't you weep no more, Oh Mary don't you weep no more, Pharoh's army got drownded, Oh Mary don't you weep. God gave Noah the rainbow sign, No more water, but fire next time, Pharoh's army got drownded, Oh Mary don't you weep. Oh Mary don't you weep no more, Oh Mary don't you weep no more, Pharoh's army got drownded, Oh Mary don't you weep. Pharoh's army got drownded, Oh Mary don't you weep, Oh Mary don't you weep no more, Oh Mary don't you weep no more. Pharoh's army got drownded, Oh Mary don't you weep.

Long time ago in Bethlehem So the Holy Bible says Mary's boy child Jesus Christ Was born on Christmas Day Hark, now hear the angels sing New king's born today And man will live for evermore Because of Christmas Day Now Joseph and his wife, Mary Came to Bethlehem that night They found no place to bear the child Not a single room was in sight By and by they found a little nook In a stable all forlorn And in a manger cold and dark Mary's little boy was born Hark, now hear the angels sing New king's born today And man will live for evermore Because of Christmas Day While shepherds watched their flocks by night They saw a bright new shining star And heard the choir from heaven sing The music came from afar Trumpets sound and angels sing, Listen to what they say That man will live for evermore Because of Christmas Day
