Mary and Joseph |
| Mary was the first of three |
| Long black hair and sugar sweet |
| Daddy’s eyes and Momma’s crooked smile |
| She was barely seventeen |
| Got a job keepin' dishes clean |
| Planned to stay in this city for a while |
| For a while |
| Joseph ran a lumber yard |
| About a mile from Olive park |
| Quiet boy, he never had much to say |
| It was love right from the start |
| He bought a ring and won Mary’s heart |
| Had hopes for a home and kids someday |
| Kids someday |
| The angel scared her half to death |
| She would’ve screamed but she lost her breath |
| On a midnight there in the middle of May |
| He said «Oh Mary, don’t be afraid |
| You’ll bear a son that the Lord has made |
| Name him Jesus, He’ll light the way» |
| She packed the clothes, he made the plans |
| They had to go to Bethlehem |
| But there was nowhere left to stay |
| So in a barn she gave birth |
| To the King of Kings, the Lord of Earth |
| Just a little bitty thing sleeping on the hay |
| Sleeping on the hay |
| The story’s too long to tell |
| But He walked on water and lived through hell |
| Killed on a cross and rose from the grave |
| We got a King, they got a Son |
| Mary and Joseph were the only ones |
| There on that very first Christmas day |
| There on that very first Christmas day |
