Joseph and Mary's Boy

Out here is the country there's magic in the air.
It's the middle of December there's excitement eveywhere

Everyone's invited, the celebration's planned
The gift is just what's in your heart and not what's in your hand

[Chorus]
Who's the one we need to thanks
Who's the party for
Who's the one responsible for all this peace and joy
Who deserves the credit for the blessings we enjoy
Preacher said last Sunday it was Joseph and Mary's boy

There were times we didn't think we'd make it through the year
The bankers tried to take our farms but somehow we're still here

I don't know how the crops survived the drought and then the rain
It must have been a miracle how else could you explain

[Chorus]

The Christ Child born in Bethlehem
He was Joseph and Mary's boy
