Sweet Little Jesus Boy

"Sweet Little Jesus Boy" is a Christmas song composed by Robert MacGimsey and published in 1934 by Carl Fischer Music. Its style is similar to African-American spirituals.

Baritone Lawrence Tibbett introduced the song,[1] and it went on to be recorded by choirs and other solo artists. They included Robert Merrill in 1947 (Victor 10-1303).[2]
