The Borning Day |
| Mary and the baby hungry |
| Yes, we know what hungry be |
| So we bring them peas and rice |
| And a little ginger tea |
| Only pigeon peas and rice |
| A little ginger tea |
| Mary thank us with her eyes |
| She poor the same as we |
| She poor the same as we |
| Mary and the baby lonely |
| Lonely is not good to be |
| So we sit awhile and chat awhile |
| To keep them company |
| Stay awhile makes the baby smile |
| Pass the time of day |
| When we see how pleased they be |
| It make us glad we stay |
| So glad that we could stay |
| Mary and the baby weary |
| Oh, we know what weary be |
| So we make a bed and pillow for their head |
| With down from the muhow tree |
| Only down from the muhow tree |
| To rest them soft and good |
| We feel bad this was all we had |
| We do the best we could |
| We do the best we could |
| Mary and the baby rest easy |
| We go away and let them be |
| On hush tip toe and voice kept low |
| We look up and see |
| Stars of hope shine in the sky |
| To mark the baby’s birth |
| Seemed to say it’s borning day |
| Of better times on earth |
| Of better times on earth |
