[Music: THE MIRACLE OF THE COCK SUSSEX GYPSIES' CAROL.]
1. King Pharaoh sat a-musing, / A-musing all alone; / There came the blessèd Saviour, / Though all to him unknown.
2. "Say, where did you come from, good man? / Oh, where did you then pass? " / "It is out of the Land of Egypt, / Between an ox and ass."
3. "Oh, if you come out of Egypt, man, / One thing I deem thou know'st: / Is Jesus born of Mary / And of the Holy Ghost?
4. "And if the news be true, good man, / That you are telling me, / Make this roasted cock to crow three times / In the dish which here we see."
5. Oh, it's straight away the cock did rise, / All feathered to the hand; / Three times the roasted cock did crow / On the dish where it did stand.
