    "WHAT YOU GONNA CALL YOUR PRETTY LITTLE BABY" by: Joan Baez
    (Words and music by: David Barnes & Bob Corman
    Also recorded by: Harry Belafonte - June 1, 1958


    Mary, Mary had a little baby
    Oh, pretty little baby
    Oh, pretty little baby
    Glory be to the newborn king

    Star a-shinin', shinin' on the manger
    Oh, shinin' on the manger
    Oh, welcoming a stranger
    Glory be to the newborn king

    Mary, Mary who was here, who knew him
    Oh, did anybody know him
    The ox and the donkey
    They bowed right down before him
    Glory be to the newborn king

    Mary, what you gonna name your baby
    Oh, pretty little baby
    Mm, pretty little baby
    Glory be to the newborn king

    Some call him Emanuel
    Think I'll call him Jesus
    Mm, my pretty little Jesus
    Glory to the newborn king
