A Christmas Folk Song

admin's picture

DE win` is blowin` wahmah,

An` hit`s blowin` f`om de bay;

Dey`s a so`t o` mist a-risin`

All erlong de meddah way;

Dey ain`t a hint o` frostin`

On de groun` ner in de sky,

An` dey ain`t no use in hopin`

Dat de snow`ll `mence to fly.

It`s goin` to be a green Christmas,

An` sad de day fu` me.

I wish dis was de las` one

Dat evah I should see.

Dey`s dancin` in de cabin,

Dey`s spahkin` by de tree;

But dancin` times an` spahkin`

Are all done pas` fu` me.

Dey`s feastin` in de big house,

Wid all de windahs wide--

Is dat de way fu` people

To meet de Christmas-tide?

It`s goin` to be a green Christmas,

No mattah what you say.

Dey`s us dat will remembah

An` grieve de comin` day.

Dey`s des a bref o` dampness

A-clingin` to my cheek;

De aih`s been dahk an` heavy

An` threatenin` fu` a week,

But not wid signs o` wintah,

Dough wintah`d seem so deah--

De wintah`s out o` season,

An` Christmas eve is hyeah.

It`s goin` to be a green Christmas,

An` oh, how sad de day!

Go ax de hongry chu`chya`d,

An` see what hit will say.

Dey`s Allen on de hillside,

An` Marfy in de plain;

Fu` Christmas was like springtime,

An` come wid sun an` rain.

Dey`s Ca`line, John, an` Susie,

Wid only dis one lef`;

An` now de curse is comen`

Wid murder in hits bref.

It`s goin` to be a green Christmas--

Des hyeah my words an` see:

Befo` de summah beckons

Dey`s many`ll weep wid me.Bells over Bethlehem pealing

God`s sacred presence revealing

There in a cradle resting

Jesus, the earth`s richest blessing

The bells

The bells of Bethlehem

Are ringing out the tidings,

"Good will to all men!"

Leave your sheep and come

O shepherds

Presents bring the Babe so lowly

Shepherds if you will but hasten

Mary the beautiful Virgin

May grant that you may be keeping

Watch o`er the dear Baby

Sleeping..

The bells

The bells of Bethlehem

Are ringing out the tidings,

"Good will to all men!"

Leave your sheep and come

O shepherds

Presents bring the Babe so lowly
