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
