Little donkey, little donkey on the dusty road
 Got to keep on plodding onwards with your precious load
 Been a long time, little donkey, through the winters night
 Dont give up now, little donkey, 
 Bethlehems in sight

 Ring out those bells tonight 
 Bethlehem, Bethlehem
 Follow that star tonight 
 Bethlehem, Bethlehem

 Little donkey, little donkey, had a heavy day
 Little donkey, carry Mary safely on her way 
 Little donkey, little donkey, journey's end is near
 There are wiseman waiting for a sign to bring them here

 Do not falter little donkey, there's a star ahead
 It will guide you, little donkey, to a cattle shed

 Ring out those bells tonight 
 Bethlehem, Bethlehem
 Follow that star tonight 
 Bethlehem, Bethlehem

 Little donkey, little donkey, had a heavy day
 Little donkey, carry Mary, safely on her way
 Little donkey, carry Mary, safely on her way
