Sweet Little Jesus Boy
by Wayne Watson

Album: One Christmas Eve

Sweet little Jesus boy
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 were blind, we couldn't see
And we didn't know who You was

Long time ago
You were born
You were born in a manger, Lord
Sweet little Jesus boy
Oh, but the world
The world treats You mean, Lord
Sometimes it treat me mean too
Oh, but that's how it is down here, You know
We don't know who You was

You, You told us how
Told us how we was tryin'
Master, You, You have shown us how
Even when You were dyin', dyin'
Just seems like we can't do what's right
Look how we treated You
But please, Sir, forgive us, Lord
We didn't know
We didn't know it was You

Sweet little Jesus boy
Born a long time ago
Sweet, sweet, sweet, little Holy Child
We didn't know who You was
