Joan Baez - Virgin Mary (Had One Son)

Joan Baez singing Virgin Mary (traditional)

Virgin Mary had a one son,
Oh, glory halleluja,
Oh, pretty little baby,
Glory be to the new born King.

"Well, Mary how you call that pretty little baby,
Oh, pretty little baby,
Oh, pretty little baby,
Glory be to the new born King".

"Well, some call Him Jesus, think I'll call Him Savior
Oh, I think I'll call Him Savior
Oh, I think I'll call Him Savior,
Glory be to the new born King".

Riding from the East there came three wise man,
Oh, came three wise man,
Oh, came three wise man,
Glory be to the new born King.

Said, "Follow that star, you'll surely find the baby,
Oh, surely find the baby,
Oh, surely find the baby,
Glory be to the new born King".

I wish someone had the full clip without Dylan talking over it

I'm not very religeous, but I see something here. Joan actually seems to be in touch with something unseen. Kind of strange and beautiful. Before she was famous Joan once worked for the Perkins Institute for the Blind in Watertown MA. She would sing the blind and deaf kids to sleep at night. The deaf kids could feel the vibrations of her voice.

What television show was this performance originally on?

This oh so brief recording is the closest we will ever come to hearing angels on earth.

@555Fiver555 Lol well, this clip is from No Direction Home.... It's a documentary ABOUT Bob. But he had no part in the editing of it, it was made by award-winning filmmaker Martin Scorcese, the director of Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, etc.... Scorcese juxtaposed Bob's raving about how great Joan was during his interviews after Joan's beautiful performance here to emphasize her influence on Bob....... Don't reply, you won't win

I have read some comments. Divorce. Ill feelings. Anger. Why, oh why, can we not just watch and listen to a sweet young girl sing and sing about this man called Jesus who she wishes to call her Saviour. I suppose that He sent His Son because He knew there would be many who have many personal problems and such. I pray for all who have a sad or contrite heart. I am truly sorry for them. I wish I could help them feel the joy I feel when I see and hear this. Love
