Cotton Top Mountain Sanctified Singers - Christ Was Born On Christmas Morn

from Where Will You Be Christmas Day? by Various Artists

about

Frankie (Half Pint) Jaxon (1895-1940s) leads the ensemble. He was a skilled vaudeville veteran who could compose a good song for any occasion. New Orleans cornetist Ernest (Punch) Miller shares the stage with a memorable solo. This jazzy carol has been a favorite with Dick Spottswood Show listeners for twenty years.

lyrics

Early on one Christmas morn, Jesus Christ the Son was born
Singing carols, Christmas songs, early on one Christmas morn
Early on one Christmas morn, Jesus Christ the Son was born
Singing carols, Christmas songs, Jesus Christ the Son was born

Three Wise men saw the star at night, star that lit up the heavens so bright
Star it led where Christ was born, Early on one Christmas morn

In that city of Bethlehem, Wise men brought Him jewels and gems
Born in a manger humble and low, that is a-why we love Him so

Mary was His mother calm, who held Him gently in her arms
All hail and praise to Him, peace on Earth, a-good will to men
