Mary And Joseph Lyrics - Very Merry Christmas - Dave Barnes

Mary was the first of three 

Long, black hair and sugar sweet 

Daddy's eyes and mama's crooked smile 

She was barely seventeen, got a job keepin' dishes clean 

Planned to stay in the city for awhile (for awhile) 

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 

Bought a ring and won Mary's heart 

Had hopes for a home and kids someday (kids someday)

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

The angels scared her half to death 

She would have 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 at the inn 

So, in a barn she gave birth 

To the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords 

Just a little bitty thing sleeping on the hay (sleeping on the hay)

The story's to long to tell 

But walked on water and lived through hell 

Keeled on a cross, and rose from the grave 

We got a King, they got a Son 

Mary & Joseph were the only ones 

There on that very first Christmas day 

There on that very first Christmas day
