And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn. : Luke 2:7

  1. Christ was born in Bethlehem, Christ was born in Bethlehem,
    Christ was born in Bethlehem and in a manger lay.
    And in a manger lay, and in a manger lay,
    Christ was born in Bethlehem and in a manger lay.

  2. The Jews they crucified him, the Jews they crucified him,
    The Jews they crucified him and nailed him to a tree.
    And nailed him to a tree, and nailed him to a tree,
    The jews they crucified him and nailed him to a tree.

  3. Mary she came weeping, Mary she came weeping,
    Mary she came weeping and stole away my Lord.
    And stole away my Lord, and stole away my Lord,
    Mary she came weeping and stole away my Lord.
