Nestor The Long Eared Christmas Donkey
Recorded by Marty Robbins
Written by Dave Burgess, Gene Autry, Don Pfrimmer
C 
Every
G7 
one knows about  
C 
Rudolph
 
Our  
F 
fleet-footed 
 
 
G7 
friend from the  
C 
north
 
Who  
F 
lights Santa's way  
C 
through the darkness
D7 
As he drives his sleigh back and  
G7 
forth
C 
There's 
 
some
G7 
one else we should  
C 
mention
 
If we  
F 
want the  
G7 
whole story  
C 
told
 
He  
F 
carried the first gift of  
C 
Christmas
 
More  
G7 
precious than diamonds or  
C 
gold
 
Nestor was a  
F 
donkey who  
G7 
seldom laughed or  
C 
played
 
Cause no one ever  
F 
used him in the  
G7 
stable where he  
C 
stayed
 
And  
F 
all the camels  
G7 
teased him  
F 
the other donkeys  
C 
too
 
They said look at little  
F 
Nestor 
 
 
G7 
there's nothing he can  
C 
do
F 
Look at little  
G7 
Nestor his  
F 
ears hang to his  
C 
knees
 
When he  
F 
looks at his  
C 
reflection 
 
 
D7 
ears are all he  
G7 
sees
F 
Nestor's heart was  
G7 
broken and his  
F 
eyes were full of  
C 
tears
 
If only there was  
F 
somethin' he could  
G7 
do about his  
C 
ears
 
One dark night  
F 
two strangers  
G7 
gave Nestor a  
C 
surprise
 
They chose him from all  
F 
others for they  
G7 
loved his gentle  
C 
eyes
 
A  
F 
man was called by  
G7 
Joseph 
 
 
F 
Mary was his  
C 
bride
 
She needed help to  
F 
Bethlehem and  
G7 
Nestor's back to  
C 
ride
 
They traveled through the  
F 
desert 
 
 
G7 
but hadn't gone too  
C 
far
 
When winter clouds no  
F 
longer let them  
G7 
see their guiding  
C 
star
 
But  
F 
Nestor learned a  
G7 
secret as he  
F 
listened to the  
C 
breeze
 
And the angels gave  
F 
directions to the  
G7 
ears that touched his  
C 
knees
Repeat #4
 
And so it was that  
F 
Nestor found the  
G7 
manger where they  
C 
stayed
 
Where kings and wise men  
F 
bowed before the  
G7 
baby where he  
C 
lay
F 
Mary bore our  
G7 
Savior and  
F 
Nestor brought them  
C 
there
 
A gift of love from  
F 
God above for  
G7 
all the world to  
C 
share
 
Though Rudolph I just  
F 
love you I  
G7 
know you'd want it  
C 
said
 
Nestor's ears are  
F 
lovely as a  
G7 
reindeer's nose is  
C 
red
 
So  
F 
children if you're  
G7 
happy when you  
F 
trim your Christmas  
C 
trees
 
You might thank a little  
F 
donkey 
 
 
G7 
whose ears hung to his  
C 
knees
F 
Look at little  
G7 
Nestor his  
F 
ears hang to his  
C 
knees
 
They  
F 
shouted as they  
C 
praised him and  
D7 
his friends were all so  
G7 
pleased
F 
Nestor was so  
G7 
happy and his  
F 
eyes held no more  
C 
tears
 
Now all the world knows  
F 
Nestor for his  
G7 
laughter and his  
C 
ears

Who is Marty Robbins?
- Martin David Robinson (September 26, 1925 - December 8, 1982), known professionally as Marty Robbins, was an American singer, songwriter, actor, multi-instrumentalist, and NASCAR racing driver. Robbins was one of the most popular and successful country and western singers for most of his nearly four-decade career, which spanned from the late 1940s to the early 1980s.
Born in Glendale, Arizona, Robbins taught himself guitar while serving in the United States Navy during World War II, and subsequently drew fame performing in clubs in and around his hometown. In 1956, he released his first No. 1 country song, "Singing the Blues" and one year later, released two more No. 1 hits, "A White Sport Coat" and "The Story of My Life". In 1959, Robbins released his signature song, "El Paso", for which he won the Grammy Award for Best Country & Western Recording. The song began Robbins' association with western balladry, a style which would become a staple of his career. Later releases that drew critical acclaim include "Don't Worry", "Big Iron" and "Honkytonk Man", the last for which the 1982 Clint Eastwood film is named, and in which Robbins made his final appearance before death.
Over the course of his career, Robbins recorded more than 500 songs and 60 albums, and won two Grammy Awards, was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, and was named the 1960s Artist of the Decade by the Academy of Country Music. Robbins was a commercial success in both the country and pop genres, and his songs were covered by many other famous artists, including Johnny Cash, the Grateful Dead and Elvis Presley. His music continues to have an influence in pop culture today, having recently appeared in several contemporary pop culture features, including the video game Fallout: New Vegas, and the series finale of AMC's Breaking Bad.
