I took the last room at the crowded Inn In a little town called Bethlehem The sand of seven cities on my sandals I just came to pay my taxes But if I'd know the circumstances I'd have given up that room And let them have it I heard lullabies in Bethlehem A mother's voice singing the sweet melody I heard lullabies in Bethlehem Mary rock the Rock of ages to sleep Well, I heard three wise men talking to Three old Shepard walking through Something about the Baby in a manger They've left their country from afar Guided by one shining star And they knew they finally found the newborn savior I heard lullabies in Bethlehem A mother's voice singing the sweet melody I heard lullabies in Bethlehem Mary rock the Rock of ages to sleep Lullabies in Bethlehem A mother's voice singing the sweet melody I heard lullabies in Bethlehem Mary rock the Rock of ages to sleep I heard lullabies in Bethlehem Mary rock the Rock of ages to sleep Mary rock the Rock of ages to sleep
