lyrics

THE STORY OF A CHILD
Tune: Italian Trad. Lyrics & Arr: Graham Pratt

1. "Oh who will tell a tale, this fine and frosty morning?
Who will tell a tale, this fine and frosty morning?”
“I”, said the trav’ller, “The story of a child, a child...”
Pa-rum pu-ta-pum pum pum.

2. “Oh who will keep him safe, this fine and frosty morning?
Who will keep him safe, this fine and frosty morning?”
“I”, said the maiden, “I’ll wrap him in my arms, my arms…”

3. “Oh who will find a bed, this fine and frosty morning?
Who will find a bed, this fine and frosty morning?”
“I”, said the landlord, “A manger full of straw, of straw..."

4. "Oh who will stand on guard, this fine and frosty morning?
Who will stand on guard, this fine and frosty morning?”
“I”, said the shepherd, “I’ll watch him with my sheep, my sheep…”

5. “Oh who will bring a gift, this fine and frosty morning?
Who will bring a gift, this fine and frosty morning?”
“I”, said the stranger, “As many have foretold, foretold…”

6. “Oh, who will praise his birth, this fine and frosty morning?
Who will praise his birth, this fine and frosty morning?”
“I”, said the robin, “I’ll sing for all the world, the world...”

7. “Oh who will help him fly, this fine and frosty morning?
Who will help him fly, this fine and frosty morning?”
“I”, said the donkey, “I’ll carry him away, away...”

8. "Oh who will bear the news, this fine and frosty morning?
Who will bear the news, this fine and frosty morning?”
“I”, said the trav’ller, “The story of a child, a child…”
Pa-rum pu-ta-pum pum pum.

“I”, said the trav’ller, “The story of a child, a child…”
Pa-rum…pu-ta-pum pum pum.
