Mary Mary

sung by Harry Belafonte

Here's a little reminder of why Christmas is celebrated sung with the dulcet tones of Mr. Belafonte...

Mary, Mary had a little baby

Oh, pretty little baby

Oh, pretty little baby

Glory be to the newborn king

Star a-shinin', shinin' on the manger

Oh, shinin' on the manger

Oh, welcoming a stranger

Glory be to the newborn king

Mary, Mary who was here, who knew him

Oh, did anybody know him

The ox and the donkey

They bowed right down before him

Glory be to the newborn king

Mary, what you gonna name your baby

Oh, pretty little baby

Mm, pretty little baby

Glory be to the newborn king

Some call him Emanuel

Think I'll call him Jesus

Mm, my pretty little Jesus

Glory to the newborn king

Dim ond Iesu

I discovered the existence of Wales, some time in 3rd or 4th grade, not surprisingly because of books. Many years later I discovered welsh music and learned about it's influence on the hymns sung for the church meetings of the religion I practice (I'm LDS or Mormon as we are more commonly known) and upon the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. I have fallen in love with welsh music and hope you will too ;-)
