Sweet Little Jesus Boy Lyrics

Sweet little Jesus boy, they made You be born in a manger
Sweet little Holy Chil’, didn’t know who You was
Didn’t know You’d come to save us Lawd, to take our sins away
Our eyes was blin’, we couldn’t see, we didn’t know who You was

Long time ago You was born, born in a manger 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, born long time ago
Sweet little Holy Chil’, and we didn’t know who You was
