Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum

A new born King to see, pa rum pum pum pum

 Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum

 To lay before the King, pa rum pum pum pum,

rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,

So to honor Him, pa rum pum pum pum,

When we come.

Little Baby, pa rum pum pum pum

I am a poor boy too, pa rum pum pum pum

 I have no gift to bring, pa rum pum pum pum

 That's fit to give the King, pa rum pum pum pum,

rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,

Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum pum,

On my drum?

Shall I play for you?

 Shall I play for you

Mary looked at me and nodded

The ox and lamb kept time,

I played my drum for Him,

 I played my best for Christ

 I played my best for Christ

Then He smiled at me, pa rum pum pum pum

Me and my drum.
