Thus said the cow, all white and red I, said the sheep, with curly horn I gave him my wool for a blanket warm He wore my coat on Christmas morn. I, said the sheep, with curly horn Thus every beast, by some good spell In th stable rude was glad to tell Of th gift he gave Emmanuel The gift he gave Emmanuel The gift he gave Emmanuel
