Mary Had A Baby featuring Sister Joy Christmas Carols, Hymns and Songs Free

This call-and-response song appears to have originated on the South Carolina coastal island of Saint Helena in the early 19th century.
The enigmatic reference to “train” would be the "gospel train," and its journey and destination are both salvation by believing in Jesus Christ the Saviour.
Our version features the inimitable Sister Joy
Mary had a baby (My Lord)
Mary had a baby (Oh My Lord)

The people keep a-comin' an' the train done gone.
Where did she lay him (My Lord)
Where did she lay him (Oh My Lord)
Where did she lay him (My Lord)
The people keep a-comin' an' the train done gone.
Laid him in a manger (My Lord)
Laid him in a manger (Oh My Lord)
Laid him in a manger (My Lord)
The people keep a-comin' an' the train done gone.
What did she name him? (My Lord)
What did she name him? (Oh My Lord)
What did she name him? (My Lord)
The people keep a-comin' an' the train done gone.
