This Christmas song was composed by Robert MacGimsey (1898 - 1979) and published in 1934.
According to William Simon, editor of the Reader's Digest Merry Christmas Songbook, Robert MacGimsey wrote this carol after walking past crowded speakeasies in New York City on Christmas Eve, 1932. Intended as an art song, it became one of many quasi-spirituals. Most recordings take liberties with the lyrics, some adding entire verses.
This song should not be confused with "Sweet Little Jesus Child" written by Percy Bady (copyright 1996) and performed by Kim Rutherford (found on the 1996 CD "The Real Meaning of Christmas").
