Go Tell It On The Mountain
Go Tell It On The Mountain
Composer(s): Traditional; John Work Jr.
Performer(s): Mahalia Jackson - 1951
and multiple other artists
Go, tell it on the mountain Over the hills and everywhere Go, tell it on the mountain That Jesus Christ is born
While shepherds kept their watching Over silent flocks by night Behold throughout the heavens There shone a holy light
Go, tell it on the mountain Over the hills and everywhere Go, tell it on the mountain That Jesus Christ is born
The shepherds feared and trembled When lo! above the earth Rang out the angels chorus That hailed the Savior's birth
Go, tell it on the mountain Over the hills and everywhere Go, tell it on the mountain That Jesus Christ is born
Down in a lowly manger The humble Christ was born And God sent us salvation That blessèd Christmas morn
Go, tell it on the mountain Over the hills and everywhere Go, tell it on the mountain That Jesus Christ is born

La plus belle nuit du monde C'est cette nuit de Noël Où des bergers étonnés levèrent les yeux vers le ciel Une étoile semblait dire "Suivez-moi, je vous conduis Il est né cette nuit!"
Ils ont suivi cette étoile Sur les chemins de Judée Et des quatre coins du monde D'autres les ont imité Et ce chant, comme une source A traversé le pays Il est né cette nuit!
La plus belle nuit du monde C'est cette nuit de Noël Où, au cœur de tous les hommes Un peu d'amour descend du ciel Tant de choses les séparent Cette étoile les unit C'est la plus belle nuit!

There is a Child born of our blessed Virgin
I heard a Maid lullaby to sing
Peace, my dear Child, of thy weeping
For thou shalt be our Heavenly King
Now sing we, and now sing we
To the Gloria tibi Domine
O Mother! O Mother! your wishes are nought
It is not for me such carols are wrought
Such carols were never by woman thought
To the Gloria tibi Domine
Now sing we, and now sing we
To the Gloria tibi Domine
O my dear Son, why sayest thou so?
Thou art my Son, I have no moe
When Gabriel begot thee, full of grace
Thou needest not tell me of this case
Now sing we, and now sing we
To the Gloria tibi Domine
O they will thrust, Mother, my head from my hair
With a crown of thorns they will me not spare
And with the sharp spears my heart will tear
To the Gloria tibi Domine
Now sing we, and now sing we
To the Gloria tibi Domine
O come you here, Mother, and you shall see
My hands and my feet nailed to the rood tree
And my feet, Mother, are fastned thereby
A vile sight, Mother for you to see
Now sing we, and now sing we
To the Gloria tibi Domine
And now sing we more or less
And welcome be this merry Christmas

How glad the many millions of Annabelles and Lillians Would be to capture me But you had such persistence, you wore down my resistance I fell and it was swell
I'm your big and brave and handsome Romeo How I won you I shall never, never know It's not that you're attractive But, oh, my heart grew active When you came into view
I've got a crush on you, sweetie pie All the day and night-time give me sign I never had the least notion that I could fall with so much emotion
Could you coo, could you care For a cunning cottage we could share The world will pardon my mush 'Cause I have got a crush on you
Could you coo, could you care For a cunning cottage That we could share The world will pardon my mush 'Cause I have got a crush, my baby, on you

I’ve Gone And Lost My Little Yo-Yo Composer(s): Fred Shuff; Walter Kemp Performer(s): Billy Cotton
Hello old chap, you’re looking miserable
Alan: So would you be miserable
I’m sad and disappointed I’m as sore as I can be When the missus finds what’s happened She’ll be more upset than me There’ll be no peace for me at home It’s sure to cause some strife I’ve lost the only thing that seemed To charm our married life
I had it when I left the house at half past ten I had it in my hand alright I showed it to a woman at the corner, then It filled her with delight The wife will want to play with it When I get home But I can’t find it, oh no It means we’ll have to part It’s sure to break her heart When she finds I’ve gone and lost My little yo-yo
I did all kind of tricks with it Could trail it on the ground I could swing it up and swing it down And swing it round and round I’ll have to get another one No matter what it costs It may not please the missus Like the one I’ve gone and lost
I had it when I left the house at half past ten I had it in my hand alright I showed it to a woman at the corner, then It filled her with delight The wife will want to play with it When I get home But I can’t find it, oh no Sher’ll take the only course And sue for a divorce When she finds I’ve gone and lost My little yo-yo
I showed it to Matilda She’s the barmaid at the Crown I taught her how to play with it And swing it up and down It fairly took her fancy P’rhaps she’s stolen it from me I dare not tell the wife In case it causes jealousy
I had it when I left the house at half past ten I had it in my hand alright I showed it to a woman at the corner, then It filled her with delight The wife will want to play with it When I get home But I can’t find it, oh no She’ll miss it, there’s no doubt She’s sure to throw me out When she finds I’ve gone and lost My little yo-yo
I've Found Someone Of My Own Composer(s): Frank Robinson Performer(s): Free Movement and multiple other artists
I got up this morning While I was having my coffee My woman came in, sat down by my side With tears in her eyes She said ´I´ve a confession to make´ I said ´Woman, speak what´s on your mind´
She said ´I´ve found somebody new To take your place´ ´I said don´t feel so all alone I´ve found someone of my own´
´All those lonely nights You left me all alone My true love would call And talk to me on the phone´ I said ´Woman, if that´s the way it´s gotta be Then darlin, don´t you worry about me´
She said ´ I´ve found somebody new To take your place´ ´I said don´t feel so all alone I´ve found someone of my own´
I got up from the table Reached down and wiped the tears From her face I put out my cigarette Turned and walked away
She said ´I´ve found somebody new To take your place´ ´I said don´t feel so all alone I´ve found someone of my own´

I thought that love was for the birds Now I've found love, I can't find words To explain how I feel Now I know love is real I'm in love, I'm in love I gotta tell the world I'm in love

Somehow I'm scared, and then again I feel so glad that I met you
I've never, ever been so sure Now I've got you, I don't want more For you've changed ev'rything With the love that you bring I'm in love, I'm in love I gotta tell the world I'm in love

People making lists, buying special gifts It's a time to be kind to one and all It's that time of year when good friends are dear And you wish you could give more Than just presents from a store
Why don't you give love on Christmas day (on Christmas day) Oh even the man who has everything Would be so happy if you would bring Him love on Christmas day (on Christmas day) No greater gift is there than love
People you don't know smiling out hello Everywhere there's an air of Christmas joy It's that once a year, when the world's sincere And you'd like to find a way To show the things that words can't say
Why don't you give love on Christmas day (on Christmas day) The man on the street and the couple upstairs All need to know that there's one cares Give love on Christmas day (Christmas day) No greater gift is there than love What the world needs is love Yes the world needs your love
Why don't you give love on Christmas day (on Christmas Day) Oh every little child on Santa's knee Has room for your love underneath his tree Give love on Christmas day (Christmas day) No greater gift is there than love What the world needs is love Yes the world needs your love

The first Noel the angels did sing
Was to certain poor shepherds
In fields as they lay
In fields fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the king of Israel
And to the Earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the king of Israel
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the king of Israel
When blossoms flowered 'mid the snows upon a winter night Was born the Child the Christmas Rose The King of Love and Light The angels sang, the shepherds sang The grateful earth rejoiced And at His blessed birth the stars Their exultation voiced
O Come let us adore Him O come let us adore Him O come let us adore Him Christ the Lord
Again the heart with rapture glows to greet the holy night that gave the world it's Christmas Rose It's king of Love and Light Let ev'ry voice acclaim His name The grateful chorus swell From paradise to earth He came that we with Him might dwell
O come let us adore him O come let us adore Him O come let us adore Him Christ the Lord Ah! O come let us adore Him Ah! O come let us adore Him Ah! Adore Him, Christ, the Lord O come, O come O come let us adore Him Let us adore Him Christ, the Lord
