Little donkey, little donkey
On the dusty road
Got to keep on plodding onwards
With your precious load
Been a long time little donkey
Through the winter's night
Don't give up now little donkey
Bethlehem's in sight.
chorus Ring out those bells tonight
Bethlehem, Bethlehem
Follow the stars tonight,
Bethlehem, Bethlehem.
Little donkey, little donkey,
had a heavy day
Little donkey carry Mary
safely on her way.
Little donkey, little donkey,
On the dusty road.
There are wise men, 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.
