after
a song by Ver hall Ward*
What
month was Jesus born in ?
Last
month of the year
What
month was Jesus born in ?
Last
month of the year
Oh,
Lord, you got January, February, March, oh Lord
You
got April, May and June Lord
You
got the July, August, September, October and November
You got twenty-fifth day of December
It’s the last month in the year
He
was born in an ox-stall manger
Last
month of the year
What
month was Jesus born in ?
Last
month of the year
I’m
talking about Mary’s baby
Last
month of the year
I’m
talking about Mary’s baby
Last
month of the year
