Lyrics

O Mother I was walking past a stablehand I saw
A tiny little baby in a little bed of straw
The mother turned and smiled at me how could I pass them by
I thought that I would cheer the child or sing a lullaby

O Mother it was wonderful the things I heard and saw
When with that little baby in a little bed of straw

The Baby's name was Jesus and I kissed his little face
When suddenly that stable it became a magic place
For angels stood around me and I heard their voices sing
The peace of God go with you child this baby is your king

O Mother.....

And then some shepherds they came in for they had heard the song
They said this was the Saviour they had waited for so long
I did not understand the things that they were speaking of
I just kept looking at those eyes that filled me with such love

O Mother...

The mother's name was Mary and she kissed me on the cheek
It's little children just like you my little boy will seek
And then she lifted up the child and filled me with such joy
As in my little arms she placed her little baby boy

O mother it was wonder4ful the things I heard and saw
"Wje with that little baby in the little bed of straw
