Little Drummer Boy (Patty Loveless with Rebecca Lynn Howard)

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 our King, 
Pa rum pum pum pum 
Rum pum pum pum 
Rum pum pum pum 
Shall I play for you?
Pa rum pum pum
On my drum. 
Mary nodded, 
Pa rum pum pum pum 
The ox and lamb kept time, 
Pa rum pum pum pum 
I played my drum for Him, 
Pa rum pum pum 
I played my best for Him, 
Pa rum pum pum pum 
Rum pum pum pum 
Rum pum pum pum 
Then He smiled at me,
Pa rum pum pum pum 
Me and my drum.
