The first one said as he passed by, As he passed by, as he passed by, "I see three thieves a-hanging high, This Christmas day in the morning." The second one said, "What sinful men! What sinful men, what sinful men! Hanging is too good for them, On Christmas day in the morning." The third one said, "Oh stay your word! Stay your word, oh stay your word! Do you not see that one's the Lord, This Christmas day in the morning?" "I know him by his weary head, His weary head, his weary head." Whereat they all fell sore adread, That Christmas day in the morning. "How sad this is we all avow, Yes indeed, we all avow! But what shall we do about it now, On Christmas day in the morning?" Primus "I'll run away as fast as I may, As fast as I may, as fast as I may, And pretend I haven't been out all day, On Christmas day in the morning." Secundus "I'll buy Him a shroud that's spick and span, Spick and span, spick and span, For I was always a generous man, On Christmas day in the morning." Tertius "But what if we should cut Him down, Cut Him down, cut Him down?" Secundus et Primus "You fool, do you want to arouse the town, On Christmas day in the morning?" "My speech was rash," the third one said, The third one said, the third one said, "We're surer of God when we know He's dead, On any day in the morning." They knelt in the snow and prayed and bowed, Prayed and bowed, prayed and bowed, And the two dead thieves laughed out aloud On Christmas day in the morning. As Jesus Christ was hanging high, Hanging high, hanging high, He saw three Christians, passing by, On Christmas day in the morning. Browse Carols: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z #
