Chorus - An old tradition exists in this part of the country that on Xmas Eve at the hour of Midnight, the ox, ass and sheep go on their knees to worship their Creator and that they still continue to do so each succeeding Xmas Eve at midnight. Many testify to the fact that they have proved it to be true.
