Yearwood, Trisha - Sweet Little Jesus Boy Lyrics






Sweet little Jesus Boy
They made You be born in a manguh (manger)
Sweet little Holy chil'
Didn't know who You wus (was)
Didn't know You'd come to save us Lawd
To take our sins away
Our eyes wus bline (was blind)
We couldn't see
We didn't know who You wus (was)
Long time ago You wus bawn (was born)
Bawn in a manguh (manger) low
Sweet little Jesus Boy
De worl' (the world) treat You mean, Lawd
Treat me mean too
But please, Suh, fuhgive (Sir, forgive) us Lawd
We didn't know 'twas You
Sweet little Jesus Boy
Bawn (born) long time ago
Sweet little Holy chil'
An' we didn't know who You wus (was)

Yearwood, Trisha Sweet Little Jesus Boy Comments
  1. F.... s....

    This is an exquisite rendition. It's hard to believe it's a live performance for such a polished and flawless singing. My favourite version. I'm so glad that Trisha recorded this song for her Christmas album.

  2. c.... ....

    It’s almost that time of year again , May God Bless you all . The perfect sacrifice was born but all sacrifices are born in a stables. Jesus the perfect sacrifice.

  3. K.... T....

    For everyone that finds it necessary to bring up race (and I'm black), this song was composed by Robert MacGimsey, a Caucasian man that was inspired to compose in the style of spirituals by the black people that lived and worked on his family's farm.

    Much love everyone. Beautiful song.

    K.... T....

    Kerian Thomas I though t it sounded like a Negro Spiritual.

  4. K.... T....

    Beautiful beautiful...

    Jesus doesn't see color John… Maybe you should listen to her lyrics…

  6. J.... M....

    White people aren't supposed to sing this song.

    J.... M....

    John. Anyone that feels it can sing it. I don't know that color is at issue here.....but it was written by a "White" Man raised around folks a bit darker than he......both in worship of a middle Eastern Man.

    J.... M....

    You sound racist, John

    J.... M....

    John McPaple Well then I'm sorry in advance when I sing this at my church's Christmas Eve service. But I don't think race has anything to do with this song.

    J.... M....

    Wow. Very Christian comment John

  7. C.... ....
