Jesus, Mary and Joseph
(Eb major)
Jesus, Mary and Joseph That’s what I heard you say — A life of supplication Throughout your live-long days.
I listened and I mimed The lip-sync of your prayer; And when the mind’s bell chimed Was there ever someone there?
Chorus — And I’m not knocking at all, In that, there is no gain; But I never heard them call To ask about your pain. O they’ll place me on the faggots, The evil Auto-da-fé; They’ll have me rot with maggots For doubting, they will say.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, The hours I spent with you; The three wishes that we wished, You thought they would come true.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph Your family, Holy and kind, From the get-go of your Aleph, They were always on your mind.
Chorus — And I’m not knocking at all, In that, there is no gain; But I never heard them call To ask about your pain. And I saw you leave that place, In the light of your last swoon, There was anguish on your face And just us in that room. O Jesus — Jesus, Mary and Joseph — © Frank Callery. June 7th., 2016.
