Little donkey, little donkey
On the dusty road
Got to keep on plodding onwards 
With your precious load

Been a long time, little donkey 
Through the winters night
Dont give up now, little donkey 
Bethlehems in sight

Ring out those bells tonight 
Bethlehem, Bethlehem
Follow that star tonight 
Bethlehem, Bethlehem

Little donkey, little donkey
Had a heavy day
Little donkey, carry Mary
Safely on her way

Do not falter, little donkey 
There's a star ahead 
It will guide you, little donkey
To a cattle shed 

Ring out those bells tonight 
Bethlehem, Bethlehem 
Follow that star tonight 
Bethlehem, Bethlehem

Little donkey, little donkey 
Had a heavy day 
Little donkey, carry Mary 
Safely on her way

Safely on her way
