Merry Christmas, I want to share the best Chrismas Song ever

[Delmonico]

Done by Micheal Martin Murphy on his 1993 "Cowboy Songs II, A Cowboy Christmas" aslo covered by Riders in the Sky on their Christmas Album.

Corn Water and Wood

I was in the arroyo gatherin' strays
You know  cowboys and cattle don't get holidays
I would have been finished except for one little guy
Who kept leading me farther away

He went up on the mesa, across a ravine
Past the Indian ruins and the muddy red stream
So I stopped for a spell, 'cause I was bone tired
And I guess that I started to dream

I saw three painted horses, three dark skinned men
With  masks made of clay and voices like wind

Singing we seek the soul, of all that is good
We come bearing corn, water and wood
Stop and behold, all that is good
Give thanks for the corn, water and wood

I'm an old trail hound and I've always believed
Your boots and your saddle are all that you leave
No miracles happen, no angels appear
But I swear three men were standing there

I shook myself over, had I been asleep
That's just three Pueblo children, tending their sheep
And they yelled Merry Christmas, as they brought me my stray
And their voices rang through the mesquite

Singing we seek the soul, of all that is good
We come bearing corn, water and wood
Stop and behold, all that is good
Give thanks for the corn, water and wood

Have a Merry Christmas everyone.
