I've Got a Name for the Newborn Child

Lyrics

Oh, oh, sing and then back to work, yes, back again
 Now's the time to pick the fruit, do with a pale branch, do
 Green corn in the field, river running like a wheel
 There's a child on the way and he's a child of God
 I've got a name for the newborn child
 I've got a name for the meek and mild
 I've got a name, you know it well
 Sitting on the rock on Christmas Day
 And oh, oh, peace on you, throw off the yoke and drink a few
 The Peacock Fiddle Band's in town and summer's on the way
 Sing a song "swee-dee-dee," full-tilt river, switchback sea
 Got so drunk on brandywine the scales fell away
 I've got a name for the newborn child
 I've got a name for the meek and mild
 I've got a name, you know it well
 Sitting on the rock on Christmas Day
 I'll dance 'til the stones roll away
 Yeah I'll dance 'til the dimming of the day
 And when the truth has been revealed to be nothing we can see
 Rise up, rise up, I've got something to say
 And oh, oh, raise the sail, for this is something special
 Light the way with a little flame to keep the dark away
 Daybreak, sound the horn, lay the dead and raise the born
 Goodbye blackened abattoir, hello yellow dawn
 I've got a name for the newborn child
 I've got a name for the meek and mild
 I've got a name, you know it well
 Sitting on the rock on Christmas Day
