Mary had a little baby
Wrapped in swaddling clothes
Every time the little baby cried
She'd rock him in a weary land


Ain't that a-rockin' all night
All night long
Ain't that a-rockin' all night
All night long
Ain't that a-rockin' all night
All night long

Wise men came from the East
Guided by a star
With gold, myrrh and frankincense
While she rocked him in a weary land

Chorus

Herod heard the news
The baby he did seek
The Lord told Mary
Just you rock him in a weary land
