Lyrics
(Folk carol)
1. Mother Mary, what is the matter?
Oh Jerusalem in the morning.
2. Father Joseph, what is the matter?
Oh Jerusalem in the morning.
3. A baby born today…
4. Born in the manger…
5. They wrapped in swaddling clothes…
6. Stall was His cradle…
7. Born in Bethlehem…
8. Born in the manger…
9. Jerusalem, Oh Jerusalem, Oh Jerusalem…
10. Baby born today…
