Advent to Candlemas (Vol. 3)

Stroll-Along Donkey

Stroll-along donkey
Who are you carrying today,
Stroll-along donkey,
As you plod your weary way?
The lady with her load
Is slight to carry
But stroll-along,
Do not hurry!

Stroll-along donkey
I know the hay is thin and worn,
Stroll-along donkey,
At least the stall is clean and warm:
The baby in the straw
Is extraordinary,
But stroll-along
Do not worry.

Stroll-along donkey,
So Egypt took you by surprise,
Stroll-along donkey,
Look at the fear in their eyes:
The baby on your back
Is extraordinary,
So stroll-along donkey
Hurry! Hurry!
