G          D    G
Jesus, our brother, kind and good
  G   C     D     G
Was humbly born in a stable of wood
    G    C    D     Em
And the friendly beasts around Him stood
G          D    G
Jesus, our brother, kind and good

G          D     G
I, said the donkey, shaggy and brown
 G      C   D      G
I carried His mother up hill and down
 G      C     D     Em
I carried her safely to Bethlehem town
G          D     G
I, said the donkey, shaggy and brown

G          D     G
I, said the cow, all white and red
 G      C   D   G
I gave Him my manger for a bed
 G      C   D     Em
I gave Him my hay to pillow His head
G          D     G
I, said the cow, all white and red

G             D   G
I, said the sheep with the curly horn
 G      C      D    G
I gave Him my wool for His blanket warm
G     C      D     Em
He wore my coat on that Christmas morn
G             D   G
I, said the sheep with the curly horn

G             D    G
I, said the dove from the rafters high
 G      C       D     G
I cooed Him to sleep that He should not cry
G        C     D    Em
We cooed Him to sleep, my love and I
G             D    G
I, said the dove from the rafters high

G         D     G
I, said the camel, yellow and black
G    C   D    G
Over the desert upon my back
G        C      D     Em
I brought Him a gift in the wise men's pack
G         D     G
I, said the camel, yellow and black

G         D      G
Thus every beast rememb'ring it well
    G   C    D      G
In the stable dark was so proud to tell
G           C   D  Em
Of the gifts that they gave Emmanuel
G             D  G
The gifts that they gave Emmanuel
