about
Kentucky folk carol; collected by John Jacob Niles: 1912-1913 and 1932-1934
lyrics
[Refrain]
Jesus, Jesus, rest your head.
You have got a manger bed.
All the evil folk on earth
Sleep in feathers at their birth.
Jesus, Jesus, rest your head.
You have got a manger bed.
1. Have you heard about our Jesus?
Have you heard about his fate?
How his momma went to the stable
On that Christmas Eve so late?
Winds were blowing, cows were lowing,
Stars were glowing, glowing, glowing. [Refrain]
2. To the manger came them Wise Men.
Bringing things from hin and yon.
For the mother and the father,
And the blessed little Son.
Milkmaids left their fields and flocks
And sat beside the ass and ox. [Refrain]
