"WHAT YOU GONNA CALL YOUR PRETTY LITTLE BABY" by: Joan Baez, "Folksingers 'Round Harvard Square," 1960.
(Words and music by: David Barnes & Bob Corman
Harry Belafonte recorded this song in 1957 under the title "Mary, Mary" (available on his CD "To Wish You A Merry Christmas").
It was also recorded by Mary Hopkin, who recorded this song in 1972 as a single under the title "Mary had a baby"
And here the original lyrics
Mary, Mary had a little baby
Oh, pretty little baby
Oh, pretty little baby
Glory be to the newborn king
Star a-shinin', shinin' on the manger
Oh, shinin' on the manger
Oh, welcoming a stranger
Glory be to the newborn king
Mary, Mary who was here, who knew him
Oh, did anybody know him
The ox and the donkey
They bowed right down before him
Glory be to the newborn king
Mary, what you gonna name your baby
Oh, pretty little baby
Mm, pretty little baby
Glory be to the newborn king
Some call him Emanuel
Think I'll call him Jesus
Mm, my pretty little Jesus
Glory to the newborn king
