King Herod and the Cock

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There was a star in David's land So bright it did appear Onto King Herod's chamber And brightly it shined there [Verse 2] The Wise Men soon spied it And told the King so high That a Princely Babe was born this night No King could e'er destroy That a Princely Babe was born this night No King could e'er destroy [Verse 3] "If this be true" King Herod said "That thou hast told to me The roasted cock you see on my table Shall crow full fences three" [Verse 4] The cock soon thrusted and feathered well By the work of God's own hand And he did crow full fences three On thе table where hе did stand And he did crow full fences three On the table where he did stand [Outro] Yes, he did crow full fences three On the table where he did stand
