(Black Spiritual, 18th and 19th c., adapted by Seth Martin)

lyrics

It was poor little Jesus
yes, yes, yes
It was poor little Jesus
yes, yes, yes
He was born on Christmas
yes, yes, yes
Wasn't that a pity and a shame,
Lord, Lord
Wasn't that a pity and a shame?

It was poor little Jesus
yes, yes, yes
And he was a child of Mary
yes, yes, yes
And he didn't have a cradle
yes, yes, yes
Wasn't that a pity and a shame,
Lord, Lord
Wasn't that a pity and a shame?

Well, they nailed him to a cross
yes, yes, yes
Yeah, they nailed him to a cross
yes, yes, yes
And they hung him with a robber
yes, yes, yes
Wasn't that a pity and a shame,
Lord, Lord
Wasn't that a pity and a shame?

It was poor little Jesus
yes, yes, yes
But now he's risen from the darkness
yes, yes, yes
And he's ascended into glory
yes, yes, yes
No more pity, no more shame
Lord, Lord
No more pity, no more shame
