I saw a comment on youtube that this song was from an old Appalachian carol. At any rate, it is beautiful, and Mary Hopkin sings it perfectly. Thanks for the post.
To day I get my 2 CDs from spacestudios, and I say same like you. It's the best sound I ever have hear. Special Mary had a baby and Cherry Tree Carol.
Very good wishes to you for a wonderful Xmas and a happy new year
Have you had your copy of "Christmas songs" yet from Mary Hopkin
I have been lucky enough to get my copy and it was worth waiting for CHerry Tree carol sounds even better, if that is possible... what a wonderful recording..
There is a nice danish singer,Ann-Mette Elten some have make a copi of Mary Had a Baby with a lovely sound, you can find her on google "Ann-Mette Elten Mary had a Baby"
Mary Hopkin is going to release a special Christmas CD it will include this song "Mary Had A Baby" along with the "cherry tree carol" originally recorded in 1972 which was the (bside) and a brand new Xmas song written by Mary called "Snowed Under". Also being released this month (November)is a brand new CD of songs recorded during the 1970's and 80's called "Recollections" more details via her website maryhopkindotcom thought you might be interested
I've been looking for this song for years. I'm so happy to have found such a beautiful version.

i find this song about forgiveness very moving.
Most versions don't have these last 2 verses - the penultimate verse is obviously modern. Did Mary Hopkin write them?
