I gave him my hay to pillow his head.

I, said the camel, yellow and black,

Over the desert, upon my back,

I brought him a gift in the wise man's pack.

I, said the donkey, shaggy and brown,

I carried his mother uphill and down,

I carried her safely to Bethlehem town.

I, said the sheep, with the curly horn,

I gave him my wool for his blanket warm,

He wore my coat on Christmas morn.
