Hmmm. Could the song be "What Month Was Jesus Born In? (Last Month of the Year)"?? I notice that we don't have lyrics for that posted anywhere that I could find. I know Sandy Paton sang it on a CD ['Twas on a Night Like This - A Christmas Legacy], but that CD is at my sweetie's house right now. I found pretty good lyrics here (click). The Ruby Pickens Tartt Collection has A copy of the sheet music entitled, "The Last Month of the Year" (What Month was Jesus Born In?) Words and music by Vera Hall, adapted by Ruby Pickens Tartt and Alan Lomax, but I don't know how to get hold of that sheet music for review. Anyhow, here's one version. -Joe Offer-
WHAT MONTH WAS JESUS BORN IN? after a song by Vershall Ward (Vera Hall??) What month was Jesus born in ? Last month of the year What month was Jesus born in ? Last month of the year Oh, Lord, you got January, February, March, oh Lord You got April, May and June Lord You got the July, August, September, October and November You got twenty-fifth day of December It's the last month in the year He was born in an ox-stall manger Last month of the year What month was Jesus born in ? Last month of the year I'm talking about Mary's baby Last month of the year I'm talking about Mary's baby Last month of the year
