I Heard It From The Donkey’s Mouth

Wake up all you people and lend us your ears
We have a super, strange story, that yo neva hear in years.
It's such a strange tale, ain't sure what to believe
It strange more than the time dem say a snake did talk wid Eve.

A SNAKE DID TALK WID EVE?

Shh! Way back up inna heaven, befo there was any sin
Befo these terror stories, vice and evil did begin.
The Father, Son and Holy Spirit come up wid a plan
Dem siddung on a council to find a way for man.

SO WHA' ‘BOUT WOMAN?

Shh! Well Dr. Luke, him did tell me about a young virgin
Dem say she nice and dainty, it ain't seem she ever sin.
Say an' angel come and tell she, here is where drama begun,
De angel tell dis Mary, she will be pregnant wid God's son.

GOD HAS A SON?

Shh! She fiancé Joseph was about to married she
Den she tell he how she pregnant.Joseph thought'"ADULTERY! "
He decide to dump she forthwith and hope nobody will find out
Dem could stone she dead in dem days if anybody run dem mout'.
De angel went and talk to Joseph in him dream
An' tell he not to worry, things were better than they seem.
He tell him marry Mary, everything will be just fine
Dem had one big wedding, on milk and honey dem did dine.

Den the emperor decide to see if he getting all him tax.
Him decide to count the people, though he already on dem backs.
Dem had to go places from way dem ancestors came
Mary had to travel far, far in her state, O what a shame.

WAY SHE GO?

Shh! TO BETHLEHEM! ! On a little donkey back she did ride.
On de rugged and rough country road, wid Joseph by she side
Nobody even had a room for dem to rent that night
Dem knock on every door, dem say, "we full",o what a plight.

Den somebody took one look at her sad and tired face
An' offer dem some shelter, if u see de dirty place!
Was a hole in some crude rocks where all de animals does sleep
The mooing cows and donkeys, goats and smelly sheep.
Dem had no bed to lie on, de place was filthy bad
But Joseph fix some sleeping place wid de lickle that he had.
Him tek a cow feeding bin and heap um up wid straw
An' spread some strips of soft, nice cloth, the cutest crib you ever saw
Den he and Mary, dem lay dung on de sweet, yet prickly hay
De lickle Jesus boy was born dat night a so dem say.

WHO TEND SHE, DR.LUKE?

Shh! Angels sing one song to shepherds as dem dey a watch dem sheep
Dem run up to de stable an' stan' by de door a peep.
Some wise men say how dem see some big and new, bright star
An' follow, bringing precious gifts from lands far, so far

WHA DEY BRING?

Sh! ! Dem give he gold and spices and precious incense so rare

WHA KINDA GIFT DAT? DEM NEVER HEAR ‘BOUT PAMPERS AND…

Shhhh! ! Dem give dem gifts to kings dem days so dey tell me, so me hear.
Me decide to follow dem to catch more a de story,
De shepherds say when de angels sing dem, see glimpses a God's glory.

Well me tek a lickle walk behind de lickle crowd
An' peep inna de stable, see Mary sitting proud
She rocking de lickle baby boy, de heavenly chile
De donkeys, sheep and cows look on, me swear say dem a smile.

Me watch de scene for quite a while den tiptoe out de view
Den run come tell de story dat me now a telling you.
God's son come dung from heaven, dung to earth to be born
In a cold and dutty stable on dat fus Christmas morn.

GOD HAS A SON? ?

Shh! ! He come to save all a we from we sins, dat same lickle chile
Rocking in him mudder arms so lowly and' so mild
Him love embrace we planet north, south, west and east
