Sweet little Jesus Boy
They made You be born in a manguh
Sweet little Holy chil'
Didn't know who You wus
Didn't know You'd come to save us Lawd
To take our sins away
Our eyes wus bline
We couldn't see
We didn't know who You wus
Long time ago You wus bawn
Bawn in a manguh low
Sweet little Jesus Boy
De worl' treat You mean, Lawd
Treat me mean too
But please, Suh, fuhgive us Lawd
We didn't know 'twas You
Sweet little Jesus Boy
Bawn long time ago
Sweet little Holy chil'
An' we didn't know who You wus
