Poor Little Jesus
It was poor little Jesus
Yes, yes, born on a Friday
Yes, yes, and they laid him in a manger
Yes, yes, wasn't that a pity and a shame
Oh Lord, wasn't that a pity and a shame
It was poor little Jesus
Yes, yes, child of Mary
Yes, yes, didn't have no shelter
Yes, yes, wasn't that a pity and a shame
Oh Lord, wasn't that a pity and a shame
It was poor little Jesus
Mhh, mhh, they whipped him up a mountain
Mhh, mhh, and they hung him with a robber
Yes, yes, wasn't that a pity and a shame
Oh Lord, wasn't that a pity and a shame
He was born on Christmas
Yes, yes, he was born on Christmas
Yes, yes, didn't have no cradle
Yes, yes, wasn't that a pity and a shame
Oh Lord, wasn't that a pity and a shame
Mhh
Yes, yes, mhh
Yes, yes, mhh
Yes, yes, wasn't that a pity and a shame
Oh Lord, wasn't that a pity and a shame
Yes, yes, born on a Friday
Yes, yes, and they laid him in a manger
Yes, yes, wasn't that a pity and a shame
Oh Lord, wasn't that a pity and a shame
It was poor little Jesus
Yes, yes, child of Mary
Yes, yes, didn't have no shelter
Yes, yes, wasn't that a pity and a shame
Oh Lord, wasn't that a pity and a shame
It was poor little Jesus
Mhh, mhh, they whipped him up a mountain
Mhh, mhh, and they hung him with a robber
Yes, yes, wasn't that a pity and a shame
Oh Lord, wasn't that a pity and a shame
He was born on Christmas
Yes, yes, he was born on Christmas
Yes, yes, didn't have no cradle
Yes, yes, wasn't that a pity and a shame
Oh Lord, wasn't that a pity and a shame
Mhh
Yes, yes, mhh
Yes, yes, mhh
Yes, yes, wasn't that a pity and a shame
Oh Lord, wasn't that a pity and a shame
