The Borning Day - Harry Belafonte[00:00:00]
Mary and the baby hungry[00:00:10]
Yes we know what hungry be[00:00:15]
So we bring them peas and rice[00:00:20]
And a little ginger tea[00:00:25]
Only pigeon peas and rice[00:00:29]
A little ginger tea[00:00:34]
Mary thank us with her eyes[00:00:38]
She poor the same as we[00:00:43]
She poor the same as we[00:00:47]
Mary and the baby lonely[00:00:56]
Lonely is not good to be[00:01:02]
So we sit awhile and chat awhile[00:01:06]
To keep them company[00:01:11]
Stay awhile makes the baby smile[00:01:15]
Pass the time of day[00:01:20]
When we see how pleased they be[00:01:24]
It make us glad we stay[00:01:29]
So glad that we could stay[00:01:33]
Mary and the baby weary[00:01:42]
Oh we know what weary be[00:01:47]
So we make a bed and pillow for their head[00:01:51]
With down from the muhow tree[00:01:56]
Only down from the muhow tree[00:02:01]
To rest them soft and good[00:02:06]
We feel bad this was all we had[00:02:11]
We do the best we could[00:02:15]
We do the best we could[00:02:19]
Mary and the baby rest easy[00:02:29]
We go away and let them be[00:02:34]
On hush tip toe and voice kept low[00:02:38]
We look up and see[00:02:43]
Stars of hope shine in the sky[00:02:48]
To mark the baby's birth[00:02:52]
Seemed to say it's borning day[00:02:57]
Of better times on earth[00:03:02]
Of better times on earth[00:03:06]
