Hey Joseph

Peter Mayer

On a cold dark night a man and his wife to be
Walked a wilderness road
With A donkey supplies and a woman with child
Don’t you know it’s a heavy load

Joseph a good man of Carpenter’s trade
Had made plans to make Mary his mate
Then an angel appeared and said Joe don’t you fear
But the Spirit will dance with your date
The Spirit will dance with your date

Chorus
Hey Joseph Keep walking Hey Joseph keep walking
Hey Joseph Keep walking To Bethlehem
Hey Joseph Keep walking Hey Joseph keep walking
Keep walking Joseph you’re part of the plan

They came to the city of David that night
But no inn had a place for their keep
Mary said Joseph I think it’s my time
Said Joseph O Lord why me
Said Joseph O Lord why me

So they arrived at the last inn in sight
With no room but a stable so low
And Mary gave birth to the Saviour of earth
With the faith of her good husband Joe

On freeways and biways in village and town
On this 21th century road
We’ve traveled so far but still look for the star
Don’t you know it’s a heavy load

Chorus
