A very old, traditional Christmas song about caring critters.
Hi, I'm "One Wiener and Whine". But I don't actually drink wine.
Story behind the song
Every critter in the manger contributed something to the Baby Jesus.
Lyrics
Jesus our brother, kind and good,
Was humbly born in a stable rude,
And the friendly beasts around Him stood,
Jesus our brother, kind and good.
I, said the donkey shaggy and brown,
I carried His mother up hill and down
I carried her safely 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 bed,
I gave Him my hay to pillow His head;
I, said the cow all white and red.
I, said the sheep with curly horn,
I gave Him my wool for His blanket warm,
He wore my coat on Christmas morn;
I, said the sheep with curly horn.
I, said the dove, from the rafters high,
I cooed Him to sleep that He should not cry.
We cooed Him to sleep, my mate and I;
I, said the dove, from the rafters high.
Thus every beast, by some good spell,
In the stable dark was glad to tell
Of the gift that they gave Immanuel;
The gift they gave Immanuel.
