Natividad - the Christmas song most people have never heard! I learned this song from my Mom. We've remembered a few of the lyrics wrong over the years. Here are the original lyrics, and I'll link to a youtube of the original recording by George Hamilton IV (I'm sorry that my version really doesn't hold a candle to it, but there was nothing else online at the time):

NATIVIDAD (THE NATIVITY)
(Bob Ferguson)

George Hamilton IV - 1970


In the fields (In the fields)
Where the shepherds rested by night
Came a light (Came a light)
That dazzled them all, it was shining so bright
In the east there were wise men watching a star
They proclaimed, "In a manger in Bethleham
There would be born a new King"

The wise men mounted their camels and followed the star
(Hallelujah)
The Shepherds bowed before a heavenly choir
All nature sang, proclaiming earth's greatest hour
(Hallelujah)
Let love begin, peace on earth, goodwill to men

In a stable, for there was no room in the inn
Was a manger (Was a manger)
With a couple adoring an infant within
Gathered round (Gathered round)
Were the wise men come from afar
They proclaimed that the babe in the manger
Was born to be the new King.

He brought to earth the message of brotherly love
(Hallelujah)
A hope for peace sent by His Father above
No greater love can anyone ever send
(Hallelujah)
Than He who said "Peace on earth, goodwill to men"
Than He who said "Peace on earth, goodwill to men"

@robfergusonjr Really? Was his name Robert Ferguson Sr.? Please confirm and I'll give him credit. Sorry my version is so lame - I don't play any instruments. :-)
