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
