The Friendly Beasts (I Said..)

The Friendly Beasts - Platinum Country All-Stars

Jesus our brother kind and good

Was humbly born in a stable of wood

And the friendly beasts around him stood

Jesus our brother kind and good

I said the donkey shaggy and brown

I carried his mother up hill and down

I carried her safely to Bethlehem town

I said the donkey shaggy and brown

I said the cow all white and red

I gave him my manger for a bed

I gave him my hay to pillow his head

I said the cow all white and red

I said the sheep with a curly horn

I gave him my wool for his blanket warm

And he wore my coat on that Christmas morn

I said the sheep with a curly horn

I said the dove from the rafters high

I cooed him to sleep that he should not cry

We cooed him to sleep my love and I

I said the dove from the rafters high

And I said the camel all yellow and black

Over the desert upon my back

I brought him a gift in the wise men's pack

I said the camel all yellow and black

Thus every beast remembering it well

In the stable dark was so proud to tell

Of the gifts that they gave Emmanuel

The gifts that they gave Emmanuel
