Mary, Mary Lyrics

Harry Belafonte Mary, Mary

Mary, Mary, had a little baby
Ooh, pretty little baby
Ooh, pretty little baby
Glory be to the newborn king

Star a shinin', shinin' on the manger
Ooh, shinin' on the manger
Ooh, welcoming a stranger
Glory be to the newborn king

Mary, Mary, who was here who knew him
Ooh, did anybody know him
The ox and the donkey they bowed right down before him
Glory be to the newborn king
Mary, what you gonna name your baby?
Ooh, pretty little baby
Mm, pretty little baby
Glory be to the newborn king

Some call him Manuel, think I'll call him Jesus
Mm, yes think I'll call him Jesus
Mm, my pretty little Jesus
Glory be to the newborn king
