Lyrics
Sweet little Jesus Boy —
They made you be born in a manger.
Sweet little Holy Child —
Didn't know who You was.
Didn't know You'd come to save us, Lord;
To take our sins away.
Our eyes was blind, we couldn't see,
We didn't know who you were.
Long time ago, you was born,
Born in a manger low,
Sweet little Jesus Boy.
The world treat you mean, Lord,
Treat me mean, too,
But please, Sir, forgive us, Lord —
We didn't know 'twas You.
Sweet little Jesus Boy —
Long time ago,
Sweet little Holy Child —
And we didn't know who You were.
