Lyrics

1. Mary had a baby, oh, Lord,
Mary had a baby, oh my Lord,
Mary had a baby, oh Lord,
People keep a-comin’ an’ the train done gone.

2. What did she name him? oh, Lord,
What did she name him? oh my Lord,
What did she name him? oh Lord,
People keep a-comin’ an’ the train done gone.

3. She named him Jesus, oh, Lord,
She named him Jesus, oh my Lord,
She named him Jesus, oh Lord,
People keep a-comin’ an’ the train done gone.

4. Where was he born? yes, oh, Lord,
Where was he born? yes, oh my Lord,
Where was he born? yes, oh, Lord
People keep a-comin’ an’ the train done gone.

5. Born in a stable, oh, Lord,
Born in a stable, oh my Lord,
Born in a stable, oh Lord,
People keep a-comin’ an’ the train done gone.

6. Where did she lay him? oh, Lord,
Where did she lay him? oh my Lord,
Where did she lay him? oh, Lord
People keep a-comin’ an’ the train done gone.

7. She laid him in a manger, oh, Lord,
Laid him in a manger, oh my Lord,
Laid him in a manger, oh Lord,
People keep a-comin’ an’ the train done gone.
