A young man and his woman on their way to a city far away
The Solid Rock Blues Band, previously known as Barking Aunts, is a music project that started in 2000. It's a studio-band, with help of friends and family.
The Solid Rock Blues Band is a music project that started in 2000, when I started recording at home. It is a Home recording studio project for several musicians and songwriters but mainly for Rudy aka The Solid Rock Blues Band project (previously known as the Barking Aunts project and before that as YAOMB, meaning: Yet Another One Man Band).
I do a lot of co-writing with others, and record demo's for Mirjam Tamara, Judith and bands like Ten Years Today. Please visit my official website for more details and recordings of other bands.
Lyrics
Christmas In A Stable
All rights 2025, R. Brinkman/Solid Rock Blues Band
Well here we are, walking trough the night
taking my woman to a place we’ve never been
she’s carrying a child, but it ain’t mine
He’s to be a King that the world has never seen
She's riding the donkey, my girl, and she's so tired.
No room at the inn, no room for us for the night.
They gave us a place in the stable, among the cattle.
Luckily, it's dry and warm. It's dry and warm here.
(chorus)
Tonight we'll sleep in a stable, in a city
Where we've never been before
And Maria, she's so tired, but oh so pretty
She's so tired, but ooooh so pretty
I wanted to walk out when she told me
that she was expecting a child, and it ain’t mine!
But the Angel came, the Angel came, and told me
Her son would be King, King of the World!
A child out of wedlock, not my son.
Would people turn their backs on me?
Would they say we'd been doing something wrong?
I wanted to leave but the Angel, the angel spoke!
(chorus)
Tonight we'll sleep in a stable, in a city
Where we've never been before
And Maria, she's so tired, but oh so pretty
She's so tired, but ooooh so pretty
Now there are shepherds here, kneeling by the manger.
Angels sing, the gifts of the wise men.
My Son, my Son, you are My King!
The Earth will praise you for the peace you bring.
The lights in the streets they all witness
The lights, the trees, the children sing,
Of His birth once, far away,
And now we sing with Joseph, "My Lord, My King!"
(chorus)
Tonight we'll sleep in a stable, in a city
Where we've never been before
And Maria, she's so tired, but oh so happy!
She's so tired, but ooooh so happy!
