Little Donkey Lyrics
little donkey, little donkey
on the dusty road
got to keep on plodding on
with your precious load
been a long time little donkey
through the winter's night
don't give up now, little donkey
bethlehem's in sight
ring out those bells tonight
bethlehem, bethlehem
follow that star tonight
bethlehem, bethlehem
little donkey, little donkey
had a heavy day
little donkey, carry mary
safely on her way
on the dusty road
got to keep on plodding on
with your precious load
through the winter's night
don't give up now, little donkey
bethlehem's in sight
bethlehem, bethlehem
follow that star tonight
bethlehem, bethlehem
had a heavy day
little donkey, carry mary
safely on her way

all biblical references.
if you wanted to go deeper, you could say that by sympathizing with the donkey, boy least likely to is celebrating the incredible burdens we carry everyday as part of life that aren't talked about or romantized in stories or movies or music
but yeah, biblical song.
We used to sing this in primary school all the time. Even when it wasn't Xmas.
