King Herod and the Cock Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There was a star in David's land
So bright it did appear
Onto King Herod's chamber
And brightly it shined there

[Verse 2]
The Wise Men soon spied it
And told the King so high
That a Princely Babe was born this night
No King could e'er destroy
That a Princely Babe was born this night
No King could e'er destroy

[Verse 3]
"If this be true" King Herod said
"That thou hast told to me
The roasted cock you see on my table
Shall crow full fences three"

[Verse 4]
The cock soon thrusted and feathered well
By the work of God's own hand
And he did crow full fences three
On thе table where hе did stand
And he did crow full fences three
On the table where he did stand

[Outro]
Yes, he did crow full fences three
On the table where he did stand
