Tim Mcgraw - Mary And Joseph lyrics

Mary was the first of three

Long black hair and sugar sweet

Daddy's eyes and Momma's crooked smile

She was barely seventeen

Got a job keepin' dishes clean

Planned to stay in this city for a while

For a while


Joseph ran a lumber yard

About a mile from Olive park

Quiet boy, he never had much to say


It was love right from the start

He bought a ring and won Mary's heart

Had hopes for a home and kids someday

Kids someday


The angel scared her half to death

She would've screamed but she lost her breath

On a midnight there in the middle of May

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/t/tim+mcgraw/mary+and+joseph_21052789.html ]

He said "Oh Mary, don't be afraid

You'll bear a son that the Lord has made

Name him Jesus, He'll light the way"


She packed the clothes, he made the plans

They had to go to Bethlehem

But there was nowhere left to stay


So in a barn she gave birth

To the King of Kings, the Lord of Earth

Just a little bitty thing sleeping on the hay

Sleeping on the hay


The story's too long to tell

But He walked on water and lived through hell

Killed on a cross and rose from the grave


We got a King, they got a Son

Mary and Joseph were the only ones

There on that very first Christmas day

There on that very first Christmas day
