| Info: Lyrics What shall we give to the Son of the Virgin? What can we give that the Babe will enjoy? First, we shall give Him a tray full of raisins, Then we shall offer sweet figs to the Boy. First, we shall give Him a tray full of raisins, Then we shall offer sweet figs to the Boy. What shall we give the Beloved of Mary? What can we give to her beautiful Child? Raisins and olives and nutmeats and honey, Candy and figs and some cheese that is mild. Raisins and olives and nutmeats and honey, Candy and figs and some cheese that is mild. What shall we do if the figs are not ripened? What shall we do if the figs are still green? We shall not fret; if they're not ripe for Easter, On a Palm Sunday, ripe figs will be seen. We shall not fret, if they're not ripe for Easter, On a Palm Sunday, ripe figs will be seen. | |
