1 Mary had a baby, my Lord;
Mary had a baby, my Lord.
Mary had a baby, Mary had a baby,
Mary had a baby, my Lord.

2 What did she name him, my Lord?
What did she name him, my Lord?
What did she name him, what did she name him,
what did she name him, my Lord?

3 She named him King Jesus, my Lord.
She named him King Jesus, my Lord.
She named him King Jesus, she named him King
Jesus,
she named him King Jesus, my Lord.

4 Where was he born, my Lord?
Where was he born, my Lord?
Where was he born, where was he born,
where was he born, my Lord?

5 Born in a manger, my Lord.
Born in a manger, my Lord.
Born in a manger, born in a manger,
born in a manger, my Lord.
