Good bit of detective work there Tootull. I don't think IA has ever mentioned any inspiration that he got from those sources but the connection is certainly there. The originals bring back fading memories of singing carols like this at school with the music teacher playing an out-of-tune piano and us kids huddled around trying not to be bored and waiting for the end of lesson's bell. Happy days

On The Jethro Tull Christmas Album & The Dressing Room Tapes versions: (Cecil Frances Alexander's line) www.cupofwonder.com/xmas.htmlOnce in Royal David’s City stood a lowly cattle shed, where a mother laid her baby.
