The Fish in the River

[Intro] [Verse 1] The Virgin is combing her hair, behind the silken curtains, Her hair, it shines like pure gold, and her comb of fine silver. [Chorus] But look how the fish are drinking in the river, but look how they're drinking to see our God born. They drink and they drink and they drink again, the fish in the river to see our God was born. [Verse 2] The Virgin washes the diapers, and she hangs it on the rosemary, the little birds are sweetly singing, and the rosemary is blooming. [Chorus] But look how the fish are drinking in the river, but look how they're drinking to see our God born. They drink and they drink and they drink again, the fish in the river to see our God was born. [Verse 3] The Virgin is washing herself, with a small bit of soap, her soft hands have gotten quite chapped, Oh, my heart's tender hands! [Chorus] But look how the fish are drinking in the river, but look how they're drinking to see our God born. They drink and they drink and they drink again, the fish in the river to see our God was born. [Outro]
