Wildwood Carol (Live)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sing O the wild wood, the green holly The silent river, the barren tree The humble creatures that no man sees Sing O the wild wood [Verse 2] A weary journey one winter's night No hope of shelter, no rest in sight Who was the creature that bore Mary? A simple donkey, oh [Verse 3] And when they came to Bethlehem town They found a stable to lay them down Who were their companions that silent night? An ox and an ass Oh, an ox and an ass Oh, yeah [Bridge] Oh The wild wood The earth oh lives in reaches [Verse 4] And then an angel came down to earth To bring the news of the Saviour's birth The first to marvel were shepherds poor And sheep with their lambs Sheep with their lambs Sheep with their lambs Sheep with their lambs Sheep with their lambs [Verse 5] So, sing O the wild wood, the green holly The silent river, the barren tree The humble creatures that bore Mary That no man sees Sing O the wild wood [Outro] Thank you very much Thank you very much and welcome to you all And thank you for your warm welcome to us And we're glad, um So many of you came along for our final and third adventure Third and final adventure in this sort-of fall series we've been doing And, uh, when it came time to work on this Christmas show I was thinking I would be doing a lot more Of the traditional Christmas songs But when it came right down to it They didn't really interest me that much, so– What kind of comment is that? That's very interesting Now which traditional Christmas songs are you talking about? Like, you know, "The First Noel"? That's the kind of song you don't like Scratch that one off the set list You thought we were going to sing that? Yeah What made you think that? The web site The web site Yeah But we'd rather you not do any Uh huh Alright Okay, let's change the set list here This is called "A Bitter Christmas"
