Joseph and Mary’s Boy Songtext
von Alabama

Out here is the country
There′s magic in the air
It's the middle of December
There′s excitement everywhere

Everyone's invited, the celebration's planned
The gift is just what′s in your heart
And not what′s in your hand

And who's the one we need to thank?
Who′s the party for?
Who's the one responsible for all this peace and joy?
Who deserves the credit for the blessings we enjoy?
The preacher said last Sunday it was Joseph and Mary′s boy


There were times we didn't think
We′d make it through the year
The banker tried to take our farms
But somehow we're still here

I don't know how our crops survived
The drought and too much rain
It must have been a miracle
How else could you explain?

And who′s the one we need to thanks?
And who′s the party for?
And who's the one responsible for all this peace and joy?
And who deserves the credit for the blessings we enjoy?
The preacher said last Sunday it was Joseph and Mary′s boy
The Christ Child born in Bethlehem
Joseph and Mary's boy

Everyone′s invited, the celebration's planned
The gift is just what′s in your heart
And not what's in your hands
