Sweet little Jesus boy   They made you be born in a manger   Sweet little holy child   We didn't know who you were   Didn't know you'd come to save us Lord   To take our sins away   Our eyes were blind, we could not see   We didn't know who you were      Long time ago   You were born    Born in a manger Lord   Sweet little Jesus boy   The world treats you mean Lord   Treats me mean too   But that's how things are down here   We don't know who you are      You have told us how   We are trying   Master you have shown us how   Even when you were dying   Just seems like we can't do right   Look how we treated you   But please Sir forgive us Lord   We didn't know it was you      Sweet little Jesus boy   Born a long time ago   Sweet little holy child   We didn't know who you were
