The Borning Day versuri

Versuri Harry Belafonte – The Borning Day lyrics

Mary and the baby hungry
Yes, we know what hungry be
So we bring them peas and rice
And a little ginger tea

Only pigeon peas and rice
A little ginger tea
Mary thank us with her eyes
She poor the same as we
She poor the same as we

Mary and the baby lonely
Lonely is not good to be
So we sit awhile
And chat awhile
To keep them company

Stay awhile
Makes the baby smile
Pass the time of day
When we see how pleased they be
It make us glad we stay
So glad that we could stay

Mary and the baby weary
Oh, we know what weary be
So we make a bed
And pillow for their head
With down from the Mahoe tree

Only down from the Mahoe tree
To rest them soft and good
We feel bad
This was all we had
We do the best we could
We do the best we could

Mary and the baby rest easy
(We go away and let them be)
On hush tip toe
And voice kept low
(We look up and see)

Stars of hope shine in the sky
To mark the baby’s birth
Seemed to say
It’s borning day
Of better times on earth
Of better times on earth
