For we have seen his star
King Herod's heart was troubled
He marveled, but his face was grim
He said, tell me where the
Sister Mary had but one child,
And every time the baby cried,
She'd rock it in a weary land,
She'd rock it in a weary land.
Then an angel appealed to Joseph,
An d gave him this command,
Arise ye, take your wife and child,
Go free into Egypt's land.
For yonder comes old Herod,
He's slayin' all the children
from six to eight days old.
From six to eight days old.
Sis ter Mary had but one child,
And every time the baby cried,
she'd rock it in a weary land.
She'd rock it in a weary land.
She'd rock it in a weary land.
She'd rock it in a weary land.
