[Verse 1]
Sing O the wild wood, the green holly
The silent river, the barren tree
The humble creatures that no man sees
Sing O the wild wood

[Verse 2]
A weary journey one winter's night
No hope of shelter, no rest in sight
Who was the creature that bore Mary?
A simple donkey, oh

[Verse 3]
And when they came to Bethlehem town
They found a stable to lay them down
Who were their companions that silent night?
An ox and an ass
Oh, an ox and an ass
Oh, yeah

[Bridge]
Oh
The wild wood
The earth oh lives in reaches

[Verse 4]
And then an angel came down to earth
To bring the news of the Saviour's birth
The first to marvel were shepherds poor
And sheep with their lambs
Sheep with their lambs
Sheep with their lambs
Sheep with their lambs
Sheep with their lambs
[Verse 5]
So, sing O the wild wood, the green holly
The silent river, the barren tree
The humble creatures that bore Mary
That no man sees
Sing O the wild wood

[Outro]
Thank you very much
Thank you very much and welcome to you all
And thank you for your warm welcome to us
And we're glad, um
So many of you came along for our final and third adventure
Third and final adventure in this sort-of fall series we've been doing
And, uh, when it came time to work on this Christmas show
I was thinking I would be doing a lot more
Of the traditional Christmas songs
But when it came right down to it
They didn't really interest me that much, so–
What kind of comment is that?
That's very interesting
Now which traditional Christmas songs are you talking about?
Like, you know, "The First Noel"?
That's the kind of song you don't like
Scratch that one off the set list
You thought we were going to sing that?
Yeah
What made you think that?
The web site
The web site
Yeah
But we'd rather you not do any
Uh huh
Alright
Okay, let's change the set list here
This is called "A Bitter Christmas"
