Dolly Parton — First Noel

[Intro] So many times in my life, I think back to the days of my childhood Now they were some very special times But none were ever as special as the memories of Christmas in the Smokey Mountains Well I could close my eyes right now and I can still see that lil' ol' country church just full of neighbors, family and friends I can still hear that country preacher talkin' about the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ And I remember how I used to love all those old Christmas songs [Verse 1] The first Noel, the angels did say Was to certain poor shepherds in fields where they lay In fields where lay they're keeping their sheep On a cold winter's night that was so deep [Chorus] Noel Noel Noel Noel Born is the King of Israel [Verse 2] The first Noel, the angels did say Was to certain poor shepherds in fields where they lay In fields where lay they're keeping their sheep On a cold winter's night that was so deep [Chorus] Noel Noel Noel Noel Born is the King of Israel [Verse 3] For all to see there was a bright star Shining in the east beyond them far And through the Earth, it gave great light And so it continued both day and night [Chorus] Noel Noel Noel Noel Born is the King of Israel Noel Noel Noel Noel Born is the King of Israel
