(paul stookey, 1963)

and it came to p-ss on a christmas evening
while all the doors were shuttered tight
outside standing, lonely boy-child
cold and shivering in the night

on the street, every window
save but one, was gleaming bright
and to this window walked the boy-child
peeking in saw, candle light

through other windows he had looked at turkeys
ducks and geese, cherry pies
but through this window saw a grey-haired lady
table bare and tears in her eyes

into his coat reached the boy-child
knowing well there was little there
he took from his pocket,
his own christmas dinner
a bit of cheese, some bread to share

his outstretched hands
held the food and they trembled
as the door, it opened wide
said he, would you share with me christmas dinner
gently said she, come inside

the grey-haired lady brought forth to the table
gl-sses two and her last drop of wine
said she, here’s a toast to everyone’s christmas
and especially, yours and mine

and it came to p-ss on that christmas evening
while all the doors were shuttered tight
that in that town, the happiest christmas
was shared by candle light
