Merry Christmas Mary Lyrics - Johnny Cash

Joseph was tired 

They'd been traveling all day 

And it was almost midnight 

Before he found a place to stay 

He put the burrow in the stall 

Then knelt beside his wife 

To comfort her 

As she went through 

The pain of giving life 

And up above a star was shining brightly in the sky 

Joseph held the baby child 

And showed him to his wife

And he said, 

"Merry Christmas, Mary 

Let me be the first to say, 

Merry Christmas, Mary 

The son of God has come to us today" 

There was someone at the door 

And Joseph turned to see 

Some plain and simple shepherd men 

Down on bended knee 

They talked about an angel 

Who told them where to come 

In the middle of the night to see 

God's only son 

Then later there came wisemen 

Bearing gifts and offerings 

And Joseph led them all to see 

And praise the new born king

And they said, 

"Merry Christmas, Mary 

Let us be the first to say, 

Merry Christmas, Mary 

The son of God has come to us today" 

Tears of joy 

Were gently flowing 

Out of Joseph's eyes 

While up above the angels sang 

"Glory to God!" 

Merry Christmas, Mary 

Let us be the first to say, 

Merry Christmas, Mary 

The son of God has come to us today 

The son of God has come to us today
