Sweet little Jesus Boy

They made You be born in a manguh (manger)

Sweet little Holy chil'

Didn't know who You wus (was)

Didn't know You'd come to save us Lawd

To take our sins away

Our eyes wus bline (was blind)

We couldn't see

We didn't know who You wus (was)

Long time ago You wus bawn (was born)

Bawn in a manguh (manger) low

Sweet little Jesus Boy

De worl' (the world) treat You mean, Lawd

Treat me mean too

But please, Suh, fuhgive (Sir, forgive) us Lawd

We didn't know 'twas You

Sweet little Jesus Boy

Bawn (born) long time ago

Sweet little Holy chil'

An' we didn't know who You wus (was)
