Текст пісні
Why is the baby crying
On this his special day
When we have bought him lovely gifts
And laid them in the hay
He's crying for the people
Who greet this day with dread
'Cause someone who was dear to them
Is far away or dead
For all the men and women
Whose love affairs went wrong
Who try their best at merriment
When Christmas comes along
For everyone whose burden
Is carried through the years
Is heavier at Christmas time
Season of good cheer
That's why the baby's crying
There in a cattle stall
He's crying for the people
He's crying for them all
