Jesse Winchester - Let's Make a Baby King Lyrics

Once upon a Christmas morning
There was a pretty little baby boy
It seems like I remember sadness, mingling in the joy
Cause Mary saw the future and the sadness it would bring
That's how come Mary started crying
When she heard the angels sing.

Let's make a baby king
Let's make him lord of all
Let's give him everything
Let's make a baby king.

Well, now you remember little King David
Well he's this little baby's kin
He's cousin to a man named John
And I know you all remember him
And John said 'Let's get ready, herald angels sing,
Cause this old world sure needs to know
The good news that I bring.

Let's make a baby king
Let's make him lord of all
Let's give him everything
Let's make a baby king.

Let's make a baby king
Let's make him lord of all
Let's give him everything
Let's make a baby king.

We could use a revolution
The whole world's upside down
We need a new direction
We got to turn this whole thing around
We need a lord to guide us
And teach us wrong and right
We need a lamb to lead us, into a land of light.

Let's make a baby king
Let's make him lord of all
Let's give him everything
Let's make a baby king.

Well, now, once upon a Christmas morning
There was a pretty little baby boy
It seems like I remember sadness, mingling in the joy
Cause Mary saw the future and the sadness it would bring
That's how come Mary started crying
When she heard the angels sing.

Let's make a baby king
