Merry Christmas! ~~GHC
Here's one of the few songs in my line-up not written in the mid-1700s. The words and music to "Little Drummer Boy" were composed by Katherine K. Davis, Henry Onorati and Harry Simeone in 1958. It’s about as old as I am!
Little Drummer Boy
Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum
A new born King to see, pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,
So to honor Him, pa rum pum pum pum,
When we come.
Little Baby, pa rum pum pum pum
I am a poor boy too, pa rum pum pum pum
I have no gift to bring, pa rum pum pum pum
That's fit to give the King, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,
Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum pum,
On my drum?
Mary nodded, pa rum pum pum pum
The ox and lamb kept time, pa rum pum pum pum
I played my drum for Him, pa rum pum pum pum
I played my best for Him, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,
Then He smiled at me, pa rum pum pum pum
Me and my drum.

Merry Christmas, Ginger!! Best wishes to you and your family.
I wanted to listen, but you have a "weak link". Nevertheless, Merry Christmas! (Have you ever heard Audio Adrenaline's version of Little Drummer Boy?)
