Art Garfunkel - The Friendly Beasts Lyrics
Jesus our brother,Strong and goodWas humbly borne in a stable rudeAnd the friendly beasts- the friendly beastsAround Him stoodJesus our brother strong and good."I," said the donkey shaggy and brown"I carried his mother up hill and downI carried his mother to Bethlehem town.I," said the donkey shaggy and brown."I," said the cow all white and red"I gave him my manger for his headI gave him my hay to pillow his headOh I," said the cow all white and red."I," said the sheep with the curly horn"I gave him my wool for his blanket warmHe wore my coat on Christmas mornOh I," said the sheep with the curly horn."I," said the dove from rafters highWe cooed him to sleep my mate and IWe cooed him to sleep my mate and IOh I," said the dove from rafters highAnd every beast by some good spellIn the stable dark was glad to tellOf the gift he gave EmmanuelThe gift he gave Emmanuel.
