THE LITTLE ROAD TO BETHLEHEM

-Judy Collins-

As I walked down the road, at set of sun

The lambs were calling homeward, one by one

I heard a sheep bell, softly calling them

Along the little road to Bethlehem

 

Beside an open door, as I drew nigh

I heard sweet Mary singing lullaby

She sang about the lambs at close of day

And rocked her tiny King among the hay

 

Across the air the silver sheep bell rang

The lambs are coming home, sweet Mary sang

Your Star of Gold (2x) is shining in the sky

So sleep, my little King, sing lullaby

 

As I walked down the road, at set of sun

The lambs were coming homeward, one by one

I heard a sheep bell, softly calling them

Along the little road to Bethlehem
