Little donkey, little donkey on a dusty road

Got to keep on pushing onward with your precious load

Been a long time little donkey, Bethlehem's in sight

Got to keep on moving onward on this holy night



Ring out those bells tonight, Bethlehem

Follow that star tonight, Bethlehem



Don't be fooled the Virgin that I got

I'm just a donkey from the block

Don't be fooled the Jesus that I got

I'm just a donkey from the block

I used to have a little, now I have a lot

And everywhere they know where I come from

South Galilee



Ring out those bells tonight, Bethlehem
