[Verse 1] Christmas Eve in Birmingham It is a long, long way from Bethlehem Mary and Joe live outside of town On an old, rundown farm Mary says, Joe, you would better get the car My contractions is not that far apart But that Falcon stalled after sixty yards Out behind the barn [Chorus] So away to the stables go Mary and Joe Now, it is not much shelter, but it keeps them from the cold Mary is hurting, Joe prays to God for a helping hand They need a Bethlehem miracle tonight in Birmingham [Verse 2] A kerosene lantern is the only light Joe says, Mary, do not give up the fight She is going to keep pushing till the baby cries If it takes her last breath And as the dawn begins to break Across the fields, valleys and the lakes A babys cry greets the light of day Merry Christmas and God bless You might also like[Chorus] So away to the stables go Mary and Joe Now, it is not much shelter, but it keeps them from the cold Mary is hurting, Joe prays to God for a helping hand They need a Bethlehem miracle tonight in Birmingham [Outro] A Bethlehem miracle last night in Birmingham
