about

Brona's musical Christmas card 2009, a tribute to the late Eric Boswell

lyrics

Little donkey
On the dusty road
Got to keep on
With your precious load.

Been a long time
Through the winter's night
Don't give up now,
Bethlehem's in sight.

Chorus
Ring those bells tonight
Bethlehem's in sight
Follow that star
Bethlehem's not far

Little donkey
Had a heavy day
Little donkey
Mary's on her way.

Little donkey
On the dusty road
While the wise men
Wait for a sign

Ring those bells tonight
Bethlehem's in sight
Follow that star
Bethlehem
