The New Christy Minstrels - The Shepherd Boy lyrics

Early one Christmas morning Ever so long ago, The brightest of stars in heaven Shown down on the earth below. Shepherds and wise men together Offered their treasures, it's told. And yet there was one so humble Who gave neither silver nor gold. I'm just a lowly shepherd boy. No earthly riches have I. But the love and devotion I give Thee Will last 'til the waters run dry. Though treasures of shepherds and wise men "Ashes to ashes" have gone, The gift of a poor, humble shepherd boy In the spirit of Christmas lives on.
