Shepherds of the countryside, all come with me,
Run all together, la la,
We'll see God's son, watch out
Tony, get out of my way.
In a bad stable, full of holes like a sieve,
O great, marvelous event, la la,
This fine son was born. watch out
Tony, get out of my way.
A young girl of fifteen,
Bore him by herself, la la,
Beside an old man, watch out
Tony, get out of my way.
Without a bed nor a blanket to shelter her son,
With the door wide open, la la,
Here, on God's good ground, watch out,
Tony, get out of my way
A very bright star to him led the three kings,
Who, without fanfare,
Brought him presents watch out,
Tony, get out of my way.
Let's go, let's go see him, let's stay here no longer,
You really can trust
That he'll grant us mercy, watch out,
Tony, get out of my way. |
