Emmylou Harris

(Katherine Davis - Henri Onerati - Harry Simeone)
Come they told me
Ra-pa-pam-pam

our newborn King to see
Ra-pa-pam-pam.
Our finest gifts we bring
Ra-pa-pam-pam
To lay before the King
Ra-pa-pam-pam.
Ra-pa-pam-pam
Ra-pa-pam-pam
So to honor him
Ra-pa-pam-pam
When we come.
--- Instrumental ---

Ra-pa-pam-pam
When we come.

Baby Jesus
Ra-pa-pam-pam
I am a poor boy too
Ra-pa-pam-pam.
I have no gift to bring
Ra-pa-pam-pam
That's fit to give a King
Ra-pa-pam-pam.
Ra-pa-pam-pam
Ra-pa-pam-pam
Shall I play for you
Ra-pa-pam-pam
On my drum.
Mother Marry nodded
Ra-pa-pam-pam
The ox and lamb kept time
Ra-pa-pam-pam.
I played my drum for him
Ra-pa-pam-pam
I played my best for him
Ra-pa-pam-pam.
Ra-pa-pam-pam
Ra-pa-pam-pam
Then he smiled at me
Ra-pa-pam-pam
Me and my drum...
