The Virgin Mary Had a Baby Boy
This Christmas carol has a calypso beat.
The Virgin Mary Had a Baby Boy
Christmas Carol
The virgin Mary had a baby boy,
The virgin Mary had a baby boy,
The virgin Mary had a baby boy,
And they say that His name was Jesus.
(Chorus)
He come from the Glory
He come down
He come from the Glorious Kingdom,
He come from the Glory
He come down
He come from the Glorious Kingdom,
Oh yes, believer, oh, yes, believer
He come from the Glory
He come down
He come from the Glorious Kingdom.
The angels sang when the baby was born,
The angels sang when the baby was born,
The angels sang when the baby was born,
And proclaimed Him the Savior, Jesus.
(Chorus)
The wise men saw where the baby was born,
The wise men saw where the baby was born,
The wise men saw where the baby was born,
And they said that His name is Jesus.
(Chorus)
Notes
This carol probably comes from Trinidad. Trinidadian Edric Connor made it popular by including it in his book, "The Edric Connor Collection of West Indian Spiritual and Folk Tunes, arranged for voice and piano", Boosey & Hawkes, 1945.
This carol is also sung in Jamaica.
