On Christmas Day It Happened So

from 12 Songs of Christmas by Simon Robinson

/

about

On the 2nd day of Christmas...here's me and Evan Davies playing an old English Christmas Carol called 'On Christmas Day'.

The carol has been best preserved by gypsies in the New Forest, Herefordshire and Shropshire. This version comes from one of the finest of living English traditional singers, the Shropshire gypsy, May Bradley. It was collected by Fred Hamer in 1959, who published it in his Garners Gay.

The story tells of a farmer who has to work on Christmas Day, and meets the wrath of a vengeful Jesus...and this one is dedicated to all those who had to work yesterday, in health care, deliveries, retail...all of you!
