Born in Bethlehem Lyrics by The Journeymen

Coming Attraction - Live!

1962

[Verse 1]
Little baby born in Bethlehem
Yes, He was, yes, He was
Little baby born in Bethlehem
Oh yes, He was
Well, there's a little baby born in Bethlehem
Born right next to a sheep and a lamb
Oh, oh, oh, oh, born in Bethlehem
[Verse 2]
He was preachin' in the temple, He was still a child
Yes, He was, yes, He was
He was preachin' in the temple, He was still a child
Oh yes, Hе was
He was preachin' in the tеmple, He was still a child
Talkin' 'bout peace and mercy mild
Oh, oh, oh, oh, peace and mercy mild
[Verse 3]
Well, He started in walkin' across the land
Yes, He did, yes, He did
Yes, He started in walkin' across the land
Oh yes, He did
Well, He started in walkin' across the land
Son of God turned into man
Oh, oh, oh, oh, God turned into man
[Verse 4]
Caused the blind to see and the cripple to walk
Yes, He did, yes, He did
He caused the blind to see and the cripple to walk
Oh yes, He did
He caused the blind to see and the cripple to walk
Just give 'em a blessin' and a little small talk
Oh, oh, oh, oh, blessin' and a little small talk
[Bridge]
Oh yes (Oh yes)
Oh well it's, oh yes (Oh yes)
I says, oh yes (Oh yes)
He was a-walkin' and a-talkin' all around the land (Oh yes, oh yes)
It was the Son of God turned into man (Oh yes, oh yes)
Nobody knew what he was sayin' then (Oh yes, oh yes)
He's just a-travelin' and a-walkin' from town to town (Oh yes, oh yes)
And they put Him on a cross 'tween two thieves (Oh yes, oh yes)
Took one nail, two nail, drive 'em through (Oh yes, oh yes)
And Mary, she cried, on a balmy night (Oh yes, oh yes)
And nobody saw Him go in the sky (Oh yes, oh yes)
[Verse 5]
'Til the sky got dark and blacked out the sun (Oh yes, oh yes)
Yes, it did, yes, it did
I said, the sky got dark and blacked out the sun (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Oh yes, it did
Well, the sky got dark and blacked out the sun (Oh yes, oh yes)
Forgive them, Father, for what they've done
Oh, oh, oh, oh, forgive 'em for what they done
[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, forgive 'em for what they done
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Forgive 'em for what they've done
Yes
