Lyrics

(Swee-ee-ee-eet)

Sweet... little jesus boy-oy-oy
They made you be born in a manger-er
Swee-ee-ee-eet little ho-oly chi-i-ld
They didn't know who you were

Didn't know you'd come to save us lord
To take our sins away
Our eyes were bli-i-ind
And we could not see-ee
We didn't know-ow who-oo you were

A long time ago-o
You were bor-orn in a manger, lor-ordd
Sweet little je-esus boy (sweet jesus boy)
Now the world treated you mean, lor-ord
And it's been treatin' me mean too
But that's how things are done now, yeah-eah (swee-ee-eet)
We didn't know it was you

You done told us how
And we are a-tryin'
Master, you done showed us how (how-ow-ow)
Even when you were dyin' (when you were dyin')
It just seems like we can't do right (do right)
Look how we treated you, yeah-eah
Please, please, forgive us lord..
We didn't know it was you

Sweet little jesus boy-oy (sweet little je-esu-us)
Born a long time ago-o
Swee-ee-ee-eet little holy chi-i-ild
We didn't know who-oo you were
