Dickens’ Dublin (The Palace) Loreena McKennitt

Joyful mystery the birth of our lord, this night Our Lady and Saint Joseph was going up to get registered, and they were going down the road and they met this man, and he said "have you any room?", and he said "no but there's an old stable over there that I owned if yous want to go into it." and they went over and the lord came down from heaven at twelve o'clock and loads of beautiful angels was with them, and when they were walking...

I walk the streets of Dublin town
It's Eighteen Forty-two
It's snowing on this Christmas eve
Think I'll beg another bob or two
I'll huddle in this doorway here
'til someone comes along
If the lamp lighter comes real soon
Maybe I'll go home with him

[Chorus]
Maybe I can find a place I can call my home
Maybe I can find a home I can call my own

These three wise kings and they were all from different countries. and they always used to look up in the sky, and they looked up in this night and saw the beautiful star up in the sky, and when they were all going they all meeted together, and they had to pass King Herod's not that we much care for him, and they went in and he said "where ye going with your best stitches on ye?"

The horses on the cobbled stones pass by
Think I'll get one one fine day
And ride into the country side
And very far away
But now as the daylight disappears
I best find a place to sleep
Think I'll slip into the bell tower
In the church just down the street
