Little Donkey

 

Little donkey, little donkey

On a dusty road

Got to keep on plodding onwards

With the precious load.

 

Been a long time little donkey

Thro' the winter's night.

Don't give up now little donkey

Bethlehem's in sight.

 

Ring out those bells tonight

Bethlehem, Bethlehem.

Follow the star tonight

Bethlehem, Bethlehem.

 

Little donkey, little donkey

Had a heavy day

Little donkey carry Mary

Safely on her way.

 

Little donkey, little donkey

Journey's end is near

There are wisemen waiting for a

Sign to bring them here.

 

Do not falter, little donkey

There's a star ahead

It will guide you, little donkey

To a cattle shed

 

Ring out those bells tonight

Bethlehem, Bethlehem.

Follow that star tonight

Bethlehem, Bethlehem.

 

Little donkey, little donkey

Had a heavy day

Little donkey carry Mary

Safely on her way.

Little donkey carry Mary

Safely on her way.
