The Friendly Beasts Lyrics
The Friendly Beasts - The Louvin Brothers
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
Em
Said the Donkey shaggy and brown
I carried His mother up hill and down
I carried his mother to Bethlehem town
The said the Donkey shaggy and brown
Em
Said the Cow all white and red
I gave Him my manger for Her bed
I gave Him my hay to pillow His head
The said the Cow all white and red
Em
Said the Sheep with the curly horn
I gave Him my wool for His blanket warm
He wore my coat on Christmas day
The said the Sheep with the curly horn
Em
Thus every beast by some glad spell
In the stable dark was glad to tell
Of the gift he gave Emmanuel
Of the gift he gave Emmanuel
Em
