Oh, po' little Jesus. Come down, all you holy angels, Sing roun' him with your golden harps, For some day he gone die to save this world. Oh, po' little Jesus. Oh, po' little Jesus. SH |

I was just listening to Maddy Prior's version last night on the "Carnivals and Capers" album (I think that's what it's called). It's very similar to the second version you posted here, and just gorgeous. I've already started working up a version with voice and octave mandolin. |
