Aren't there some additional lyrics for this that have a Christmas theme to them? I honestly don't know. I do know that that one of the John Fahey Christmas albums had a lovely version which I tried to learn to pick back in the 80's. It was always a song we played at Chritsmas time but perhaps that has more to do with the fact that here in the USA, the film BELLS OF ST. MARY'S is shown every year during the holidays. Thanks
