Joseph And Mary's Boy Songtext / Lyric

(Don Cook/Keith Whitley)



Out here is the country there's magic in the air.

It's the middle of December there's excitement eveywhere



Everyone's invited, the celebration's planned

The gift is just what's in your heart

And not what's in your hand



Who's the one we need to thanks

Who's the party for

Who's the one responsible for all this peace and joy

Who deserves the credit for the blessings we enjoy

Preacher said last Sunday it was Joesph and Mary's boy






There were times we didn't think

We'd make it through the year

The bankers tried to take our farms

But somehow we're still here



I don't know how our crops survived

The drought and then the rain

It must have been a miracle

How else could you explain



And who's the one we need to thanks

And who's the party for

And who's the one responsible for all this peace and joy

And who deserves the credit for the blessings we enjoy

Preacher said last Sunday it was Joesph and Mary's boy



The Christ Child born in Bethlehem

Joesph and Mary's boy



Everyone's invited, the celebration's planned

The gift is just what's in your heart

And not what's in your hand...
