Have one verse of lyrics, but it seems to be the start of a story and would like to find additional verses. The verse I have goes like this: Bethlehem's darkened city, Mary and Joseph sought. Asking (for love or pity) Haven for hearts distraught. Houses were shut upon them, Faces were cold and stark. Fire there was none to warm them, Candle to light the dark. Thanks for any help. |

Everything else I found was a different song by the same name-- two or three others, according to Google search. And nothing on the Basque name of it. If we don't find it, but you ever do-- please post it here! ~Susan

Maggie Sansone is one helluva' Hammered player and very stylish in her playing, quite unique in many ways......odd trills and hammer patterns.......But all of her stuff I have is entirely instrumental. Great stuff though!!! Spaw |
