Go Tell It

(American 12-bar blues)
words & music by Gary Hicks
(lead sheet available on request)
based on the traditional spiritual
copyright 2010, Gary L. Hicks

GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN
THAT JESUS CHRIST IS BORN
GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN
THAT JESUS CHRIST IS BORN
HEAVEN STOOPED DOWN
TO KISS THE EARTH THAT MORN.

Well, shepherds were watchin’ their flocks in the silent night
Watchin’ their flocks in the dark of the silent night
The sky blazed out with a beautiful holy light.

They were shakin’ their shoes as the angels started to sing
Singin’ the blues til the angels started to sing
Bethlehem’s manger cradled a newborn King.

They ran to the stable to worship Mary’s boy
 Rushed to the stable to see her pride and joy
God came down as a helpless baby boy.
