Go Tell the Fox

go tell the fox – baby’s in his cradle, go tell the rabbit where the snow lies deep
born in a manger, dreamin in the stable, there lies the christ child fast asleep

go tell the barber, go and tell the banker, go tell the farmer in the frozen corn
go tell the sailor, lookin for an anchor, go tell the drifter in the ice white storm
little baby jesus this night is born

go tell the risin wind, poundin at the stormy sea
go tell the clouds that hover, rain that flies and trees that shudder

go tell the baron, notify the princess, go tell the duchess in her castle cold
tell mister herod, countin up his census countin up his sorrows and his chains of gold
little baby jesus gonna free your soul

go tell the sinner weepin in his prison, go tell the widow on her lonely way
go tell the seeker searchin for a reason, wake the philosopher old and gray
tell ‘em baby jesus was born today
