[Verse 1]
As it fell out on a cold winter day
The drops of rain did fall
Our Savior asked leave of His mother, Mary
If He might go play at ball
[Verse 2]
"Go up the hill," His mother said
"And there you will find three jolly children
But let me hear no complaint of You
When You come home again"
[Verse 3]
But the children said, "We are royal sons
And we will not play at ball
For You are but a poor maid's child
Born in an oxen stall"
[Verse 4]
"If you are lords' and ladies' sons
And you will not play at ball
I'll build you a bridge of the beams of the sun
To play upon us all"
[Verse 5]
And He built them a bridge of the beams of the sun
And over the pools they played, all three
And the mothers called, "Mary, call home your child
Ere ours are drowned be"
