The Ballad of the Christmas Donkey

Carol Hall

[Verse 1]
Long ago, in another day
A donkey cried in his donkey way
"I'm not beautiful, I'm not beautiful
What good to anyone am I?"

[Verse 2]
"Other animals are big and strong
Or rare or filled with an animal song
But I'm not beautiful, I'm not beautiful
What good to anyone am I?"

[Bridge]
Heaven cried
"Donkey you can carry
Will you carry Mary?
Angels for your guide"

[Verse 3]
On Christmas morn, in the stable hay
The donkey smiled in his donkey way
"I feel beautiful, I feel beautiful
As beautiful as anyone am I"

[Outro]
"As beautiful as anyone am I
I feel beautiful, I feel beautiful"
