Burl Ives - A Holly Jolly Christmas

Christmas Child

I heard a knock upon my door, midnight Christmas Eve
Half-asleep I hurried down, my visitor to receive
At first, I thought no one was there, then all at once I saw
A little baby lying there, crying there at my door

Doo-ooh-ooh-ooh (ooh-ooh)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Doo-ooh-ooh-ooh (ooh-ooh)
Doo-ooh-ooh-ooh

I took the baby in my arms in the winter's night
The church bells never rang so clear
The stars never shone so bright
And as I gazed upon the face of the foundling child
It seemed the angels on my tree looked down at me and smiled

Doo-ooh-ooh-ooh (ooh-ooh)
Doo-ooh-ooh-ooh
Doo-ooh-ooh-ooh (ooh-ooh)
Doo-ooh-ooh-ooh

I thought about the Holy Child that Christmas long ago
And that was when I saw the note lying there in the snow
"Please, whoever finds my child, be good to him and kind
God bless you," that was all it said, "Mary," it was signed

Doo-ooh-ooh-ooh (ooh-ooh)
Doo-ooh-ooh-ooh
Doo-ooh-ooh-ooh (ooh-ooh)
Doo-ooh-ooh-ooh
