Vera Hall Ward - The Last Month Of The Year

from Where Will You Be Christmas Day? by Various Artists

about

Vera Hall Ward (1905-1964) of Livingston, Alabama appears on Goodbye, Babylon [DTD-01] performing with her cousin Dock Reed. John Lomax first recorded her for the Library of Congress in 1937, and her exceptional voice was featured in a number of folk song anthologies thereafter.

lyrics

Spoken: And I want y'all to remember that Christmas is Jesus' birthday
Now I want y'all to remember this song too, and don't never forget it
Jesus' birthday, the month that Jesus was born in
You bigger girls should remember to sing it
Just hand it, sing it to the little ones, ya hear?

What month was Jesus born in?
Last month in the year
What month was Jesus born in?
Last month in the year
Ooh Lord you got January, February, March, oh Lord
You got April, May and June, Lord
Got the July, August, September, October and the November
You got twenty-fifth day of December, it's the last month in the year

I'm talking 'bout Mary's baby
Last month in the year
I'm talking 'bout Mary's baby
Last month in the year
Ooh Lord you got January, February, March, oh Lord
You got April, May and June, Lord
Got the July, August, September, October and November
You got twenty-fifth day of December, it's the last month in the year

He was borned in a oxen manger
Last month in the year
He was borned in a oxen manger
Last month in the year
Ooh Lord you got January, February, March, oh Lord
You got April, May and June, Lord
Got July, August, September, October and-a November
You got twenty-fifth day of December, it's the last month in the year
