mary had a baby

people, keep a comin´ and the train done gone

laid him in a manger
laid him in a manger
laid him in a manger, oh lord
people, keep a comin´ and the train done gone

shepherds came to see him
shepherds came to see him
shepherds came to see him, oh lord
people, keep a comin´ and the train done gone

named him king jesus
named him king jesus
named him king jesus, oh lord
people, keep a comin´ and the train done gone

when i was a seeker
i sought both night and day
and i asked the lord to help me
and he showed me the way

chorus:
oh, go tell it on the mountain
over the hills and everywhere
go tell it on the mountain
that jesus christ is born

he made me a watchman, upon the city wall
and if i am a christian
i am the least of all, yeahyeah

go tell it on the mountain
over the hills and everywhere
go tell it on the mountain
that jesus christ is born

chorus (4x)
