First Noel

So many times in my life
I think back to the days of my childhood
Now they were some very special times
But none were ever as special as the
Memories of Christmas in the Smokey Mountains
Well I could close my eyes right
Now and I can still
See that lil' ol' country church
Just full of neighbors, family and friends
I can still hear that
Country preacher talkin' about
The birth of our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ and I remember how I used to
Love all those old Christmas songs

The first Noel, the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in
Fields where they lay
In fields where lay they're
Keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep

Noel Noel Noel Noel
Born is the King of Israel

On a cold winter's night that was so deep

Noel Noel Noel Noel
Born is the King of Israel

For all to see there was a bright star
Shining in the east beyond them far
And through the Earth, it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night

Born is the King of Israel
