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 17
Got a job keeping dishes clean
Planned to stay in this city for a while, yeah
For a while
Joseph ran a lumberyard
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, 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, "Mary, don't be afraid
You'll bear a son that the Lord has made
Call 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, 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
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Long black hair and sugar sweet
Daddy's eyes and Momma's crooked smile
She was barely 17
Got a job keeping dishes clean
Planned to stay in this city for a while, yeah
For a while
Joseph ran a lumberyard
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, 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

You'll bear a son that the Lord has made
Call him, Jesus, He'll light the way"
She packed the clothes, he made the plans

But there was nowhere left to stay
So in a barn, she gave birth
To the King of Kings, the Lord of Earth

Killed on a cross, rose from the grave

There on that very first Christmas day
There on that very first Christmas day
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
