lyrics

Once there was no sun
Lordy, once there was no sun
Oh, once there was no sun
I heard the angels singin’
Do lord go down
Do lord go down,
Do lord go down
Lordy I heard the angels singin’

Oh, once there was no moon
Lordy once there was no moon
Once there was no moon
I heard the angels singin’
Do lord go down
Do lord go down,
Do lord go down
I hear the angels singin’

Oh, once there was no light
Once there was no light
Once there was no light
I hear the angels singin’
Do lord go down
Do lord go down,
Do lord go down
I hear the angels singing

Oh, this dark old world
This dark old world
This dark old world
I hear the angels singin’
Do lord go down,
Do lord go down,
Do lord go down,
I hear the angels singing

Oh I am so glad
I am so glad
I am so glad
I hear the angels singin’
Do lord go down,
Do lord go down,
Do lord go down,
I heard the angels singing
