Had a heavy day
Little donkey, carry Mary 
Safely on her way

Journey's end is near
There are wisemen waiting for a 
Sign to bring them here

There's a star ahead
It will guide you, little donkey 
To a cattle shed

Ring out those bells tonight 
Bethlehem, Bethlehem
Follow that star tonight 
Bethlehem, Bethlehem

Little donkey, little donkey
Had a heavy day
Little donkey, carry Mary
Safely on her way
Little donkey, carry Mary
Safely on her way
