Tim McGraw - Mary and Joseph Lyrics
Mary was the first of threeLong black hair and sugar sweetDaddy's eyes and Momma's crooked smileShe was barely seventeenGot a job keepin' dishes cleanPlanned to stay in this city for a whileFor a whileJoseph ran a lumber yardAbout a mile from Olive parkQuiet boy, he never had much to sayIt was love right from the startHe bought a ring and won Mary's heartHad hopes for a home and kids somedayKids somedayThe angel scared her half to deathShe would've screamed but she lost her breathOn a midnight there in the middle of MayHe said "Oh Mary, don't be afraidYou'll bear a son that the Lord has madeName him Jesus, He'll light the way"She packed the clothes, he made the plansThey had to go to BethlehemBut there was nowhere left to staySo in a barn she gave birthTo the King of Kings, the Lord of EarthJust a little bitty thing sleeping on the haySleeping on the hayThe story's too long to tellBut He walked on water and lived through hellKilled on a cross and rose from the graveWe got a King, they got a SonMary and Joseph were the only onesThere on that very first Christmas dayThere on that very first Christmas day
