The Blind Boys Of Alabama - Go Tell It on the Mountain

In the Bleak Midwinter

In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone
Snow had fallen, snow on snow
More than you could know
In the bleak midwinter, a long, long time ago

What can I give him
Poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd, I would bring him a lamb
And if I were a wise man, I would do my part
Yet what I can, I give him, I will give my heart

In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone
Snow had fallen, snow on snow
More than you could know
In the bleak midwinter, a long, long time ago
A long, long time ago

A long time ago, oh yeah
Long time ago (baby, baby) long, long time ago
Long time ago, yeah, yes it is
Oh, in a manger (long, long time ago)
In the bleak midwinter, oh yeah

Hear me, hear me (unto us a child is born), hear me
Hear me (laid down in a manger, yeah) long, long time ago
Long time ago (long time ago) hear me (ooh, ooh)
A long, long time ago (ooh, ooh)
A long, long time ago (hear me, hear me)
