The Friendly Beasts is a traditional Medieval Christmas song about the gifts that a donkey, cow, sheep, camel, and dove give to Jesus at the Nativity. The song seems to have originated in 12th-century France, set to the melody of the Latin song Orientis Partibus. The current English words were written by Robert Davis (1881-1950) in the 1920s.[2] The song is also known as The Song of the Ass, The Donkey Carol, The Animal Carol, and The Gift of the Animals.
