Lyrics
G
I got a little story
It happened long ago
C
One them bible books
Wouldn't let you know
About Jesus and Mary
and the baby that they had
Some folks would call him Junior
and guess who was the dad
D C
It ain't easy being the son
G
of the son of the big one
D C
Little Junior Jesus the son
G
of the son of the big gun
Well it happened down in Nazareth
by the sea of Galilee
in a little fishing inn
called the ou la oui
They had a couple drinks
she was lookin' really fine
they had a couple more
he turned some water into wine
chorus
Well the next thing you know
there's a baby on the way
he sorta looked like Peter
who could really say
He didn't like the Romans
didn't even like the Jews
he didn't wear sandles
he preferred to wear shoes
chorus
He never walked on water
he never raised the dead
some days he didn't feel like
gettin' outta bed
He couldn't heal the sick
or make the blind to see
people wouldn't let him
be just be
chorus
People say why ain't you
more like your dad
and just like that
he turned out bad
Well it had to be hard
to have a ho for a momma
let alone to have
Jehovah for your father
chorus
