This spiritual from the African-American tradition is also known as "The Holy Baby" or "Born in Bethlehem." It appears in many variations, but each number is always given a biblical reference. I first heard it performed by The Weavers. It has been sung by just about everybody, but some notable recordings, many of them available on YouTube, are by The Fairfield Four, The Kingston Trio, The Seekers, The Blind Boys of Alabama, Peter, Paul and Mary, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Gordon Lightfoot, Nina Simone, Natalie Merchant, Ralph Stanley and Johnny Cash.
