Song Lyrics
planned to stay in this city for a while
There on that very first christmas day, to the king of kings Dave, about a mile from olive park
To the king of kings, joseph ran a lumber yard
She would ve screamed but she lost her breath, to the king of kings and, he bought a ring and won mary s heart
Just a little bitty thing sleeping on the hay, got a job keepin dishes clean
The story s too long to tell, planned to stay in this city for a while, she packed the clothes
but there was nowhere left to stay
They had to go to bethlehem, but there was nowhere left to stay, we got a king
Don t be afraid, kids someday Mary, he bought a ring and won mary s heart
He bought a ring and won mary s heart, don t be afraid, he never had much to say
about a mile from olive park
The story s too long to tell, long black hair and sugar sweet
they had to go to bethlehem
had hopes for a home and kids someday
He never had much to say, she packed the clothes
Killed on a cross and rose from the grave, just a little bitty thing sleeping on the hay, it was love right from the start
she was barely seventeen
there on that very first christmas day
Planned to stay in this city for a while, the lord of earth, to the king of kings
she packed the clothes
But there was nowhere left to stay, daddy s eyes and momma s crooked smile, it was love right from the start
Name him jesus, so in a barn she gave birth
she packed the clothes
The angel scared her half to death, you ll bear a son that the lord has made
the lord of earth
Daddy s eyes and momma s crooked smile, he made the plans
Daddy s eyes and momma s crooked smile, they got a son, they got a son
they had to go to bethlehem
there on that very first christmas day
Daddy s eyes and momma s crooked smile, kids someday, they had to go to bethlehem
Joseph ran a lumber yard, they had to go to bethlehem
he ll light the way
just a little bitty thing sleeping on the hay
Mary was the first of three, you ll bear a son that the lord has made
Joseph ran a lumber yard, he said oh mary
Just a little bitty thing sleeping on the hay, got a job keepin dishes clean, they got a son
About a mile from olive park, he ll light the way, got a job keepin dishes clean
Daddy s eyes and momma s crooked smile, daddy s eyes and momma s crooked smile Dave, name him jesus
joseph ran a lumber yard
they had to go to bethlehem
had hopes for a home and kids someday
