The Ballad Of The Christmas Donkey
Performer(s): Ed Ames



Long ago, in another day
A donkey cried in his donkey way
I'm not beautiful, I'm not beautiful
What good to anyone am I

Other animals are big and strong
Or rare or filled with an animal song
But I'm not beautiful, I'm not beautiful
What good to anyone am I

Heaven cried...donkey you can carry
Will you carry Mary...angels for your guide

On Christmas morn', in the stable hay
The donkey smiled in his donkey way
I feel beautiful, I feel beautiful
As beautiful as anyone am I....
As..beautiful..as..anyone...am......I
