The Virgin Mary Had A Baby Boy
Trinidadian Traditional

The virgin Mary had a baby boy,
The virgin Mary had a baby boy,
The virgin Mary had a baby boy,
And they say that his name was Jesus

He come from the glory,
He come from the glorious kingdom,
He come from the glory,
He come from the glorious kingdom,
Oh yes, believer!
Oh yes, believer!
He come from the glory,
He come from the glorious kingdom

The angels sang when the baby born
The angels sang when the baby born
The angels sang when the baby born
And proclaim him the Savior Jesus
Chorus

The wise men went where the baby born,
The wise men went where the baby born,
The wise men went where the baby born,
And they say that his name was Jesus
Chorus

(the soloist could improvise further verses, e.g., "The shepherds came when the baby born," "They left their gifts where the baby born," etc.)
