Lyrics[]
Annie: Jesus our brother kind and good
Was humbly born in a stable rude
And the friendly beasts around Him stood
Jesus our brother kind and good
Pa Grape: I, said the donkey shaggy and brown
I carried His mother uphill and down
I carried her safely to Bethlehem Town
I, said the donkey shaggy and brown
Heh-heh, shaggy. I need a trim.
Jimmy: I, said the cow all white and red
I gave Him my manger for His bed
I gave Him my hay to pillow His head
I, said the cow all white and red
Lil Pea: I, said the sheep with curly horn
I gave Him my wool for His blanket warm
He wore my coat on Christmas morn
I, said the sheep with curly horn
Annie: I, said the dove from the rafters high
I cooed Him to sleep so He would not cry
We cooed Him to sleep, my mates and I
I, said the dove from the rafters high
All: Thus every beast by some good spell
In the stable dark was glad to tell
Of the gift he gave Emmanuel
The gift he gave Emmanuel
Annie: The gift he gave Emmanuel
