"The Last Month Of The Year" lyrics

"The Last Month Of The Year"
(originally by Vera Hall)

What month was my Jesus born in? Last month of the year
What month was my Jesus born in? Last month of the year

Oh, January, (January), February, (February), March, April, May, June, O, Lord
You got July, August, September, October, and-a November
On the twenty-fifth day of December in the last month of the year

Well, they laid Him in the manger. Last month of the year
Well, they laid Him in the manger. Last month of the year

Oh, January, (January), February, (February), March, April, May, June, O, Lord
You got July, August, September, October, and-a November
On the twenty-fifth day of December in the last month of the year

Wrapped Him up in swaddling clothing. Last month of the year
Wrapped Him up in swaddling clothing. Last month of the year

Oh, January, (January), February, (February), March, April, May, June, O, Lord
You got July, August, September, October, and-a November
On the twenty-fifth day of December in the last month of the year

Well, He was born of the Virgin Mary. Last month of the year
Well, He was born of the Virgin Mary. Last month of the year

Oh, January, (January), February, (February), March, April, May, June, O, Lord
You got July, August, September, October, and-a November
On the twenty-fifth day of December in the last month of the year
