Lyrics

Sweet little baby boy
In his manger, dear
Can't you see what he had to go through
For coming to this world and be here
Sweet little baby boy
Yes the Savior was born
On a day that was so cold, oh
Yes, on a Christmas morning
Oh, but the world
That would be happy and bright
As all things are on a Christmas night
Can't you see I'm lyin' there
No, on a cradle battered and torn
Yes, in that battered cradle, the Savior was born
Sweet little baby boy, sweet little baby boy
To the world known by none
But the love and loved His wishes
And to humanity there will be a son
Hopin', away one more time
That everything has fazed out on a Christmas night
Can't you see I'm lyin' there
On a cradle so battered and torn
Yes, in that battered cradle
Savior of the world was born
Sweet little baby boy
To the world, known by none
But to love and be loved was his wishes
And to humanity there will be a son
Sweet little baby boy
Sweet little baby boy
Sweet little baby boy, no
Makes my heat bleed
Think about that sweet little baby boy
Do you know he taught us how to walk
Gave us strength, no, no, no so we could talk
Gave sight to the blind, He gave sight to the blind
And He, and He restored my mind
Sweet little baby boy
Do you know the Man, I remember, I remember
My mother told me this story when I was a little boy
The greatest love story ever told
She said He, she said He saved, He saved, He saved somebody
And Lord, He blessed his soul
Sweet little baby boy, no
Sweet little baby boy
No, sweet little baby boy
Sweet little baby boy
Feel so, feel, so
Sweet little baby boy
Yeah, breathe now
Little baby boy
Sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes I wonder
Sometimes, sometimes
Sweet, sweet little baby boy
