"Lil' Burro" lyrics

Now gather round boys and girls
I'll tell you a story
About the little burro that went with Mary
And Joseph on a journey
You may think he was just a burro
But he was much more
'Cause you know that he was there
When Jesus Christ was born

Well, he really wasn't very big
You know as burro's go
But his heart was strong with the love of god
I've been told
He carried mother Mary from Nazareth to Bethlehem
When they finally arrived they couldn't find a place
To lay down
The little burro knew that Mary was about to give birth
He knew it was time for the true king to begin his reign on earth
Every door they knocked on everybody told them no
The little burro knew that Mary had gone as far as she could go

Then finally an old inn keeper opened his door a crack
He said I've got no room inside for you but there's a stable out back
The little burro saw baby Jesus born that very night
Then he closed his eyes and he went to sleep
He knew everything would be alright
