Original text and translations

English text

Mary bore a little baby
born’d in Bethlehem.
Every time the Baby cried,
she walked in a weary land.

Ain’t that a rockin’ all night long
to walk in a weary land?

Soldiers tried to kill the baby.
Mary’s family ran.
Every time the Baby cried,
she walked in a weary land.
