Lyrics

Must have been sometime 'bout close to midnight
A big ole boy came knockin' at my door
He said his wife was about to have a baby
And that she just couldn't travel anymore
I said the rooms have all been rented out
But they'd find shelter out there in the barn
They could throw some blankets in the stable
At least they would be dry, and safe from harm
Come and see what's happenin' in the barn
I've seen nothin' like this since I've been on this farm
Those strangers camping out there have a baby in their arms
Come and see what's happenin' in the barn
Sometime before dawn, I was awakened
Light was floodin' through the windowpane
A star as bright as moonlight was a shinin'
And pretty music I could not explain
Well, I ran downstairs to have a look around
And I tell you I could not believe my eyes
A crowd had gathered all around the manger
They were talkin' 'bout God's big surprise
Come and see what's happenin' in the barn
I've seen nothin' like this since I've been on this farm
Those strangers camping out there have a baby in their arms
Come and see what's happenin' in the barn
Shepherds said that they'd been on a hillside
Tellin' stories just to stay awake
The baby lambs were sleepin' near the campfire
The ewes were huddled by a stone-fenced gate
And then the sky just seemed to open wide
With a light and sound that they could hardly bear
What they swore were angels sang in chorus
"You'll find the new Messiah over there"
Come and see what's happenin' in the barn
I've seen nothin' like this since I've been on this farm
Those strangers camping out there have a baby in their arms
Come and see what's happenin' in the barn
Come and see what's happenin' in the barn
Come and see (come and see)
Come and see (come and see)
Come and see what's happenin' in the barn
Come and see (come and see)
Come and see (come and see)
Come and see
