Calypso carol

1. Calypso Carol
Words and music: Michael Perry

2. See him lying on a bed of straw
Draughty stable with an open door
Mary cradling the babe she bore
The Prince of Glory is his name

3. Chorus:
Come now carry me to Bethlehem
To see the child appear to them
Just as poor as was the stable then
The Prince of Glory when he came

4. Star of silver sweep across the skies
Show where Jesus in a manger lies
Shepherds swiftly from your sleeping rise
To see the baby who is king.

5. Chorus:
Come now carry me to Bethlehem
To see the child appear to them
Just as poor as was the stable then
The Prince of Glory when he came

6. Angels, sing again your joyous songs
Tell the tale to every heart that longs
Sing that Bethl’m’s little child belongs
To every seeker on the way

7. Chorus:
Come now carry me to Bethlehem
To see the child appear to them
Just as poor as was the stable then
The Prince of Glory when he came
The Prince of Glory when he came
The Prince of Glory when he came!
(cha cha cha!)
