The Friendly Beasts

The Friendly Beasts - Carolee Mayne/Bronn Journey/Kenny G (肯尼基)

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

I said the donkey all shaggy and brown

I carried His mother up hill and down

I carried His mother to Bethlehem Town

I said the donkey all shaggy and brown

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

I said the sheep with curly horn

I gave Him my wool for a blanket warm

He wore my coat on Christmas morn

I said the sheep with curly horn

I said the dove from the rafters high

I cooed Him to sleep that would not cry

We cooed Him to sleep my love and I

I said the dove from the rafters high

Thus every beast by some good spell

In the stable rude was glad to tell

Of the gift He gave Emmanuel

The gift He gave Emmanuel
