Mary’s Boychild:Harry Belafonte. #1. Long time ago in Bethlehem so the Holy Bible says   Mary`s boychild Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day. CHORUS: Hark now! Hear the Angels sing a King was born today and man will live forever more because of Christmas Day. #2.    While shepherds watch their flocks by night they see a bright new shining star. They hear a choir sing a song   the music seemed to come from afar.   CHORUS: Hark now! Hear the Angels sing a King was born today and man will live forever more because of Christmas Day.   #3.    Now Joseph and his wife Mary came to Bethlehem that night. They found no place to bear the child   not a single room was in sight.       CHORUS: Hark now! Hear the Angels sing a King was born today and man will live forever more because of Christmas Day. #4. Trumpets sound and Angels sing...listen to what they say that man will live forever more because of Christmas Day. CHORUS:(x2) Hark now! Hear the Angels sing a King was born today and man will live forever more because of Christmas Day. #5.    And then they found a little nook in a stable all forlorn. And in a manger cold and dark Mary`s little boy was born. Long time ago in Bethlehem so the Holy Bible says   Mary`s boychild Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day. CHORUS: Hark now! Hear the Angels sing a King was born today and man will live forever more because of Christmas Day. #6. Trumpets sound and Angels sing...listen to what they say that man will live forever more because of Christmas Day.
