Its a song about Mary and Joseph, and their struggle after Jesus (the newborn) was born. They're both scared, but they keep confident in their beleif of the child's fate and because of these help keep each other resolute.
etc etc.
"But his papa's going to hide shaking gristle
And shaking like bone" other than that line id think its Joseph talking to Mary. Though "his papa" could be in reference the big G.O.D., but i doubt it.
